Table 6.

Deterministic dietary exposures (ng/kg b.w./day) through the consumption of rice contaminated by multiple mycotoxins by children in North and South Punjab of Pakistan, using the medium bound scenario (<LOQ = ½ LOQ). The calculations are based on (A) fixed mean mycotoxin concentration and variable rice consumption in the two regions and (B) fixed mean rice consumption and variable mycotoxins concentration in the two regions. Values exceeding the PMTDI (provisional maximum tolerable daily intake) are shown in bold.
