Table A.23.
Average contribution of the background exposure to the total acute exposure of thiacloprid across European dietary surveys (premarketing scenario)
| Distribution | Age class | N | Average contribution (% of total exposure) | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Minimum | Median | Maximum | |||
| Fulla | Infants (3–6 months) | 3 | 18.1 | 22.4 | 27.3 |
| Infants (6–2 months) | 6 | 22.2 | 34.8 | 38.4 | |
| Toddlers | 11 | 22.1 | 37.9 | 41.3 | |
| Upper tailb | Infants (3–6 months) | 3 | 9.7 | 10.0 | 27.2 |
| Infants (6–12 months) | 5 | 12.4 | 14.1 | 22.2 | |
| Toddlers | 10 | 10.6 | 21.9 | 29.5 | |
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).
