Hi Rob
Yes I think you are describing the same anomaly - but at least now you can
see how CLEA gets the % numbers.
The ‘pathway contribution’ percentage is calculated from the actual physical
intake of BaP (hidden away on Page 6 of 11 of the report as average daily
exposure) irrespective of its relation to the oral & inhalation HCV:
Page 6 of 11 Report output:
Ingestion: 0.0000105 mg/kg-bw/day (99.68% of total)
Inhalation: 0.0000000333 mg/kg-bw/day (0.32 % of total)
So (in this example) although inhalation only provides 0.32% of total chemical
intake into the body, it actually provides 48% of the safe level of exposure.
Speak to you soon
Chris Dainton
And thanks to everyone who has emailed me - it's good to know I'm not alone
in thinking the way CLEA 1.04 presents this is misleading
