The EA have made some strange decisions... To replicate the values, the arsenic SGV is based on comparison of oral, dermal and inhalation exposure with the oral ID (NOT inhalation ID). For nickel, it's more confusing. Residential and commercial SGV are based on comparison of inhalation exposure with inhalation TDI ONLY. Allotments bsaed on comparison of oral, dermal and inhalation exposure against oral TDI ONLY. Phew.
