Scope
MeHg intake from fish describes the exposure to methyl mercury due to fish consumption in the target European country.
Definition
MeHg intake from fish is represented as a continuous variable and is indexed by variable age. It applies to all four age categories and to indicators such as intelligence quotient change in children and myocardial infarction risk in adults.
Causality
List of parents:
- Concentrationdata: Variable:Concentrations of nutrients and pollutants in fish
- Subgroupconsumption: Variable:Domestic fish consumption of the pregnant women
- Variable:Domestic fish consumption of the general population
- BW: Variable:Body weight
Data
Formula
<anacode>Concentrationdata*Subgroupconsumption/365/BW</anacode>
Exposure is calculated as a product of concentration data and fish consumption data. This is further divided by bodyweight to report exposure in relation to kg of bodyweight.
Unit
µg/kg bw/year or mg/kg bw/d?
