Using method described in Clark et al. (2003b) and concentrations in Table 2. Median intake, based on ingestion of food, drinking water, dust/soil, and inhalation of air using data compiled from various countries and various years. Data format: median (95th percentile) Age 20 to 70 y: 0.67 (2.0) Age 12 to 19 y: 0.67 (2.6) Age 5 to 11 y: 1.3 (5.5) Age 0.5 to 4 y: 2.1 (8.7) Age 0 to 0.5 y: 0.76 (9.9)
