Dietary exposure to volatile nitrosamines (NDMA, expressed in ng/kg bw per day) from processed meat with estimation of MoE* ^, a

NDMA	Infants (12 weeks–11 months)	Toddlers (12–35 months)	Children (3–9 years)	Adolescents (10–17 years)	Adults (18–64 years)	The elderly (≥ 65 years)
Mean exposure	0.2–1.1	0.9–2.6	0.2–2.0	0.3–1.6	0.5–1.3	0.4–0.9
MoE	24,500–135,000	10,400–30,000	13,500–135,000	16,900–90,000	20,800–54,000	30,000–67,500
High level exposure	0.4–4.4	3.8–6.2	1.2–5.5	1.1–4.7	1.4–3.8	1.1–2.3
MoE	6,100–67,500	4400–7,100	4,900–22,500	5,700–24,500	7,100–19,300	11,700–24,500

* Based on a BMDL₁₀ of 0.027 mg/kg bw for NDEA.

MoE are expressed as a range – the lower end of the range relates to upper end of the mean and the high percentile exposures ranges as reported in Table 11 and the higher end of the range relates to lower end of the mean and the high percentile exposures ranges as reported in Table 11.
