Table 1.

Parameter distribution types used in the Monte Carlo simulation during heating and non-heating.

Definition Units Distribution Mode Heating Non-Heating Reference
BaPeq ng/m3 Log-Normal LN (2.7,0.4) N (−2.4, 1) Measured
IR m3/d Normal N (35.1, 15.0) N (42.1, 12.5) Measured
EF day/year Constant 140 220 /
Exposure Duration year Constant 10 10 Measured
Average Time day Constant 25500 25500 /
Bodyweight (BW) kg Normal N (29.9, 5.6) N (29.9, 5.6) Measured

For the log-normal distribution LN (a, b), parameter a is the arithmetic mean of log-transformed data, and parameter b is the standard deviation of log-transformed data. For the normal distribution N (a, b), parameter a is the arithmetic mean, and parameter b is the standard deviation.
