Fig. 7.
Comparison of median measured urine concentrations to threshold concentrations “median BETDI” established in this study using Httk. Risk Quotients for individual chemicals (grey bars), sum of risk quotients for chemical groups phenols and parabens (green bars), and the overall Hazard Index (HI, red bars) are presented for (A) Norwegian female adults, (B) Norwegian children, (C) Danish children. The risk quotients and HI using the BETDI values established in this study have to be interpreted with care, taking into account the uncertainties around the BETDI values and the orders of magnitude difference in them when using different models or comparing to formerly established BE thresholds.
