Table A.6.
Average contribution of the background exposure to the total acute exposure of deltamethrin across European dietary surveys (premarketing scenario)
| Distribution | Age class | N | Average contribution (% of total exposure) | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Minimum | Median | Maximum | |||
| Fulla | Infants (3–6 months) | 3 | 20.0 | 22.0 | 27.8 |
| Infants (6–12 months) | 6 | 36.8 | 42.2 | 45.0 | |
| Toddlers | 11 | 46.8 | 52.0 | 55.8 | |
| Upper tailb | Infants (3–6 months) | 3 | 12.2 | 19.1 | 31.9 |
| Infants (6–12 months) | 5 | 10.3 | 32.6 | 39.8 | |
| Toddlers | 10 | 31.5 | 43.7 | 58.0 | |
N: number of surveys.
a
Average contribution refers to the full distribution of acute exposures calculated within a survey and age class.
b
Average contribution refers to the acute exposures exceeding the 95th percentile within a survey and age class. Surveys with less than 61 observations were excluded because the 95th percentile estimates obtained on these dietary surveys/age classes were not considered statistically robust (EFSA, 2011a).
