Single value consumptions settings

Calculation settings

Table 33 Calculation settings for module Single value consumptions.
Name Description

Risk type

The type of exposure considered in the assessment; acute (short term) or chronic (long-term).

Restrict population to consumers or consumer days only

Specifies whether the population should be restricted to the individuals (chronic) or individual days (acute) that have non-zero consumption.

Ignore sampling weights

If checked, individual sampling weights are not used (sampling weight = 1). If unchecked, the specified sampling weights are used.

Standardise consumption with body weight before calculation of single values

Specifies whether consumptions are standardise with body weight before determining single values. Otherwise, afterwards by dividing by the mean body weight of the distribution.

Apply processing factors

Specified in table ProcessingFactor. If checked, processing factors are applied. Concentrations in the consumed food may be different from concentrations in the food as measured in monitoring programs (typically raw food) due to processing, such as peeling, washing, cooking etc. If unchecked, no processing information is used. This is in most (though not all) cases a worst-case assumption

Restrict population to consumers or consumer days only (food-as-measured)

Specifies whether the population should be restricted to the individuals (chronic) or individual days (acute) with consumptions containing any of the foods-as-measured.
