Table 3. Sensitivity analysis for five parameters in the no-detection case.

	Release size

Base case	2.3 × 103	1.5 × 105	5.0 × 105	5.7 × 105	5.7 × 105
Time between silo cleanings = 48 hr	2.8 × 103	1.6 × 105	3.8 × 105	3.9 × 105	3.9 × 105
Silo size = 100,000 gallons	2.1 × 102	1.4 × 105	8.4 × 105	1.1 × 106	1.1 × 106
Silos per processing line = 4	4.4 × 101	1.1 × 105	1.2 × 106	2.2 × 106	2.2 × 106
Inactivation by pasteurization = 0.99	6.6 × 10-11	5.0	3.8 × 104	3.6 × 105	5.7 × 105
ID50 (adult, child) = 70 μg, 30 μg	1.8 × 10-16	6.7 × 10-3	7.5 × 103	2.1 × 105	5.3 × 105

Each change from the base-case value in Table 1 was made in isolation, and the mean number of poisoned people was computed for four different release sizes.
