Table 22.

Margin of exposure (MOE) ranges calculated for mean and high (P95) exposure levels for young (‘infants’, ‘toddlers’ and ‘other children’) and adult (‘adolescents’, ‘adults’, ‘elderly’ and ‘very elderly’) groups of the population. For each age group, the ranges include MOE calculated considering the minimum lower bound and maximum upper bound exposure (see Table 14). Two scenarios were considered, with average contents of 10% or 1% of three or more ring MOAH within the MOAH fraction present across different foods in the dietary exposure (defined as Scenario 1 and 2, respectively)

Margins of exposure (Maximum UB–Minimum LB)
Assumed fraction of three or more MOAH 10% (Scenario 1) 1% (Scenario 2)
Mean exposure Infants and children 158 4,900 1,581 49,000
Adults 490 12,250 4,900 122,500
P95 exposure Infants and children 83 1,633 830 16,333
Adults 288 4,900 2,882 49,000
