scen.factor.indices: scen.factor.indices

In HumanExposure/SHEDSDevel: The SHEDS-HT model for estimating human exposure to chemicals.

Description

Constructs scenario-specific exposure factors for each relevant combination of age and gender. The input is derived internally from the Source_vars file specified on the Run file.

Usage

scen.factor.indices(sdat, expgen)

Arguments

sdat	The chemical-scenario data specific to a given combination of chemical and scenario.
expgen	Non-media specific exposure factors as a data table. Output from gen.factor.tables

Details

The constructed factors are not media-specific, although they are scenario-specific, and most scenarios include just one surface medium. This function evaluats the scenario-specific exposure factors separately from the other factors because these scenario-specific factors may change with every chemical and scenario, whereas the other factors remain the same across chemicals and scenarios for each person.

Value

Returns indices of scenario-specific exposure factors for each relevant age and gender combination. The output is only generated internally.
