Data
The total body surface area is calculated based on the weight and the length of the population with the formula provided by Mosteller [1]. The body surface area of different body parts is estimated based on the percentages of different body parts provided by a FactSheet of ConsExpo modelling tool The percentages used are presented in Table 1.
