Probabilistic assessment factors fo human health risk assessment

This page provides a description and a link to a "Probabilistic assessment factors fo human health risk assessment" guidance document that can be used for exposure assessment.

Short description

This report is a practical guide for the application of probabilistic distributions of default assessment factors in human health risk assessments. RIVM and TNO developed the use of probabilistic assessment factors as a first step towards further national and international harmonisation. Consensus was reached on the nature of distributions of several human assessment factors. The proposed distributions will be applied in risk assessments of new and existing substances and pesticides, produced at RIVM and TNO.
