Human physiological factors

Utilization

The exposure of levels of individuals are affected by the physiological features, such as body weight, body surface area (i.e. determining the skin area that is exposed when exposure is dermal one) and the breathing rate in different activities.

Limitations

The body length, body weight and the body surface area data is provided for some of the European countries, but there is no data available for all countries.

Data

Information for some European countries based on the national surveys. Access to data is provided through SQL-based Opasnet Base database.
