Exposure modulesΒΆ
Exposures are, in the simplest applications, dietary exposures, which combine consumption and occurrence data, either for single or for multiple substances causing the same adverse effect. Links between the foods-as-eaten and the modelled foods are made using food conversions, and the consumptions are expressed as consumptions per modelled food. For large assessment groups, the use of dietary exposures screening may be used to reduce the complexity of the calculations and only focus calculations on the risk drivers.
In aggregate exposure assessments, exposures combine dietary exposures with non-dietary exposures, which have to be entered as pre-calculated data.
Human monitoring data can be compared to exposures using human monitoring analysis.
In cumulative assessments, important mixtures of substances can be identified using exposure mixtures.
