Data

Data 1

Data 1 is expressed as µg/kg bw/year (or mg/kg bw/d?).

⇤--1: . Data 1 should not be used, because there is ambiguity about the units. --Jouni 14:44, 16 September 2009 (EEST) (type: truth; paradigms: science: attack)

<anacode>Concentrationdata*Subgroupconsumption/365/BW</anacode>

Exposure is calculated as a product of concentration data and fish consumption data. This is further divided by bodyweight to report exposure in relation to kg of bodyweight.

Data 2

Data 2 represents daily intake of methyl mercury by Finnish pregnant women and adults aged 18-55yr and 55yr+ due to fish consumption. The MeHg intakes from sea and freshwater species are estimated separately. The MeHg intake from a given fish species is calculated as a product of the MeHg concentration in this species and daily consumption of this species by target population subgroup divided by the body weight in this subgroup.

Formula

MeHg_Concentration_species(i)*Daily_consumption_species(i)/BW

MeHg intake from fish is represented as a continuous variable and is indexed by variable age. It applies to Finnish pregnant women (this represents prenatal exposure to MeHg from fish), to the two last age categories (18-55yr, 55yr+) and to indicators such as intelligence quotient (IQ) in children and the risk of CVD mortality in adults.
