The default approach in the risk assessment (RA) of chemicals is to assess external exposure by combining different sources and routes of exposure. This kind of approach contains various uncertainties and may overestimate exposure, since conservative estimates are needed due to the limited data on, for example, the absorption of the chemical and interspecies and intraspecies differences. Human biomonitoring (HB...
In chemicals risk assessment frameworks, the default approach is to assess external intake from different sources of exposure and via different routes of exposure. They are often assessed separately. This approach includes various uncertainties and often overestimates the real uptake since default, conservative estimates are used e.g. for the absorption of the chemical. At the same time, actual (real life) expo...
