Single value dietary exposures settings

Selection settings

Table 135 Selection settings for module Single value dietary exposures.
Name Description
Risk type
The type of exposure considered in the assessment; acute (short term) or chronic (long-term).
Dietary exposure calculation tier
A tier is a pre-specified set of model configurations. By selecting a model tier, MCRA automatically sets all model settings in this module according to this tier. Note that currently tier setting may need to be performed separately in sub-modules. Use the Custom tier when you want to manually set each model setting.

Calculation settings

Table 136 Calculation settings for module Single value dietary exposures.
Name Description
Single value dietary exposure calculation method
Method for computing single value dietary exposures.
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 modelled food 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
Use occurrence frequencies
Account for occurrence frequencies for combinations of food and substance in the exposure calculations.
