Table 9.

Pesticide concentrations in air calculated according to even distribution of spray and according to the TIM model (US‐EPA) and the corresponding inhalation exposure for 1 min of inhalation. Rows with calculations for flying bats are shaded in grey and calculations for resting bats are without shading. Please see the text above for more details

bw: body weight.

*

The same as used in the dermal exposure calculation.

**

Please see Section 3.2.3.1 for details; the air concentrations were the same as for dermal exposure and corrected by a factor of 0.28 to account for the fraction of droplets inhaled (only small droplets can be inhaled).
