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).
