Estimate of probable daily intakes of Alternaria mycotoxins based on urinary concentrations.

Mycotoxins	Excretion Rate		PDI (ng/kg bw/day)					TTC (ng/kg bw/day)	Exceeding TTC (%)
	ER (%)	Reference	Min	Mean	Median	P95	Max
AOH	8.3	Puntscher et al. [36] a	3.28	419	6.57	1880	11,400	2.5	100
	2.8	Puntscher et al. [37] a	9.74	1240	19.5	5580	33,700		100
AME	6.7	Puntscher et al. [36] a	2.33	36.8	4.76	105	339	2.5	99.2
	2.6	Puntscher et al. [37] a	6.01	94.8	12.3	272	873		100
TeA	89	Asam et al. [24] b	0.468	52.1	1.75	284	1940	1500	0.372
TEN	0.9	Puntscher et al. [37] a	15.2	107	27.8	442	2760	1500	1.12

AOH = alternariol; AME = alternariol monomethyl ether; TeA = tenuazonic acid; TEN = tentoxin; ER = excretion rate; nPDI = probable daily intake; TTC = threshold of toxicological concern. ^a Studies performed in rats. ^b Study including two volunteers.
