Exposures settings¶
Calculation settings¶
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
Risk type
|
The type of exposure considered in the assessment; acute (short term) or chronic (long-term). |
Multiple substances analysis
|
Specifies whether the assessment involves multiple substances. |
Express results in terms of reference substance equivalents (cumulative)
|
Specifies whether the assessment involves multiple substances and results should be cumulated over all substances. |
Include dietary and non-dietary routes of exposure
|
Specifies whether the assessment involves both dietary and non-dietary (oral, inhalatory or dermal) routes of exposure. |
Target level
|
Select to express hazard characterisations at external or internal exposure level. |
Match non-dietary to dietary survey individuals
|
Specifies whether the individuals of one or more non-dietary surveys should be matched to individuals in the dietary survey according to the individual codes (idIndividual). If unchecked, nondietary exposures are randomly allocated to dietary survey individuals. |
Match individuals of multiple non-dietary surveys
|
If checked, exposures from identical individuals in non-dietary surveys are aggregated to obtain the overall nondietary exposures. If unchecked, exposures from random individuals in all non-dietary surveys are aggregated. |
Model-then-add
|
Specifies whether to create separate exposure models for specific groups of foods-as-measured (model-then-add). |
Output settings¶
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
Include drill-down on 9 individuals around specified percentile.
|
Specifies whether drilldown on 9 individuals is to be included in the output. |
Summarize simulated data
|
Specifies whether a summary of the simulated consumptions and concentrations should be included in the output. |
Store simulated individual day exposures
|
Store the simulated individual day exposures. If unchecked, no additional output will be generated. If checked, the output will contain an additional section with the simulated individual day exposures. |
Show percentiles for
|
Give specific percentiles of exposure distribution (%), e.g. 50 90 95 97.5 99 (space separated). |
Percentage for drilldown
|
Gives detailed output for nine individuals near this percentile of the exposure distribution. |
Percentage for upper tail
|
Gives detailed output for this upper percentage of the exposure distribution. |
Show % of population below level(s)
|
Exposure levels can be generated automatically or by explicit specification (Manual). |
Exposure levels
|
Specify exposure levels for which to give the percentage of exposure below these levels, e.g. 1 10 50 100 200 500. |
Exposure levels are
|
Specify whether exposure levels are absolute or percentages of ARfD/ADI (Obsolete). |
Number of levels of covariable to predict exposure
|
Specify the number of levels, e.g. 20. The range of the covariable is divided by the number of levels: range = (max - min)/levels. For these covariable levels exposures are predicted. |
Predict exposure at extra covariable levels
|
Specify specific prediction levels in addition to the automatically generated prediction levels (space separated). |
Lower percentage for variability (%)
|
The default value of 25% may be overruled. |
Upper percentage for variability (%)
|
The default value of 75% may be overruled. |
Report consumptions and exposures per individual instead of per kg body weight
|
Specifies whether body weights should be ignored and consumptions and exposures should be expressed per individual. Otherwise, the consumptions and exposures are per kg body weight. |
