Abstract
This paper discusses a statistical exposure model (STEM) that can be u sed to estimate the percentage of the population exceeding ingestion i ntake criteria (e.g., ADI or TDI). In addition, STEM may be linked to toxicokinetic models to evaluate the interindividual variability in in ternal doses that results from variability in consumption habits. Tle assumptions of STEM are investigated by analyzing dioxin and cadmium i ntake data for the Dutch population.
