Table 2.
Uncertainties associated with the modeled exposure rates (in percentage of central-tendency estimate) via exposure routes from the far-field environment, as a result of the propagation of uncertainties in partitioning (equilibrium partition coefficients) and reactive properties (air hydroxylation rate constant, primary biodegradation half-life, and whole-body biotransformation half-lives in fish and mammals) predicted by the QSARs and QSPRs adopted by PROTEX-HT, arrayed by assumed mode of entry.
