VIboot: Chemical intake by ingestion of vegetables by bootstrap

VIbootR Documentation

Chemical intake by ingestion of vegetables by bootstrap

Description

Estimates the chemical Intake rate by ingestion of contaminated fruits and vegetables [mg/Kg*day]

Usage

VIboot( n, CF, IR, FI, EF, ED, BW, AT)

Arguments

n

Output vector length

CF

Chemical concentrtion in food [mg/Kg]

IR

Vegetables Ingestion Rate [g / Kg * Day]

FI

Fraction ingested from contaminated source [-]

EF

Exposure frequency [day/yr]

ED

Exposure duration [yr]

BW

Body Weight [Kg]

AT

Averaging time [day] (For No carcinogenic effects AT = 365*ED)

Value

A vector of Chemical intake rate by vegetable ingestion I [mg/Kg*day] - Object class "numeric"

Examples


# Assess the chemical intake by an adult that eats lettuce with a concentration of 2 mg/ Kg of a 
# chemical with non- carcinogenic effects in a maximum reasonable exposure scenario
# Figure out 10 data of Chemical concentration following a normal distribution (mean = 2, sd= 2)
# and 100 Body weight data that follow a normal distribution (mean = 70, sd = 15)

c <- rnorm( n= 10, mean = 2, sd = 2 )

b <- rnorm( n= 100, mean = 70, sd = 5 )

VIboot (n = 1000, CF = c, BW = b, AT = 365*24)
