Table 4.
Mean, median and 95th percentile estimated daily intake (EDI) (µg kgbw−1 day−1) for an adult population to microcystins detected in BGAS.
| Exposure Scenario | EDI µg kgbw−1 day−1 | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| adults (consumption following the posology recommendation) | mean | median | P95 |
| real (UB) * | 0.02 | 0.00 | 0.14 |
| worst (UB) ** | 0.10 | 0.02 | 0.33 |
| adults (mean consumption as calculated from the EFSA database ***) | mean | median | P95 |
| real (UB) * | 0.01 | 0.00 | 0.06 |
| worst (UB) ** | 0.04 | 0.01 | 0.13 |
* Real (UB), the exposure scenario where all analyzed BGAS were taken into account (upper bound approach); ** worst (UB), only results of the positive samples (at least one MC detected) were taken into account (upper bound approach), *** EFSA, the mean chronic consumption was calculated from the EFSA Food Consumption Comprehensive Database.
