Dermal exposure calculation from overspray for different groups of amphibians
| Amphibians | Body weight (g) | Total surface (cm2)a | Dermal absorption% | Applied rate (kg/ha) | Applied rate (mg/cm2) | Dermal dose (mg/kg bw) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Green frog | 85 | 23.5744 | 100 | 1 | 0.01 | 1.387 |
| Bull frog | 500 | 86.2673 | 100 | 1 | 0.01 | 0.863 |
| All frogs | 100 | 16.2728 | 100 | 1 | 0.01 | 0.814 |
| Hyla arborea | 1.4 | 1.1937 | 100 | 1 | 0.01 | 4.263 |
| Hyla arborea | 11 | 6.5120 | 100 | 1 | 0.01 | 2.96 |
| Salamander | 50 | 127.1737 | 100 | 1 | 0.01 | 12.717 |
bw: body weight.

For the calculation of the dermal dose, the total surface was divided by 2 assuming that only the upper side of the animal is exposed.
