Table 2. Effect of handling time on estimated intake when concentrations in thermal paper are high.

K = 1072 K = 1838 K = 21522
AF = 2.3% 6298 ± 98.8 10799 ± 169.4 126445 ± 1983.2
AF = 8.6% 23550 ± 369.4 40377 ± 633.3 472793 ± 7415.5
AF = 27% 73935 ± 1159.6 126765 ± 1988.2 1484351 ± 23281.3

Estimated exposure calculated using Eq 1, a single handling event, and thermal paper concentrations of 26.3 mg/g, the maximum reported by Hormann et al. [22]. Scaling factors to account for different handling characteristics were not considered (see Eq 1).
