Appendix B Computation of Average Daily Dose The Average Daily Dose from all exposures to ADDD = Contaminant × SA × PC × BAF × F × D1 × D 2 × C D BW × AP reclaimed water (ADDRW ) can be estimated using the following equation (modified from Hutcheson et al., where 1990): ContaminantR = Concentration of chemical in ADDRW = ADDR + ADDD + ADDI reclaimed water (mass/volume), SA = Skin surface area in contact with The Average Daily Dose from ingestion of the the surface water during the reclaimed water (ADDR) can be estimated using the period of exposure (area), following equation (modified from Hutcheson and PC = Permeability constant (volume/ Martin, 1992): time × area), D1 = Average duration of each ADDR = Contaminant R × VI × BAF D 2 × C BW × AP exposure event (time/event), D2 = D uration of the exposure period (time), where BAF = Bioavailability adjustment ContaminantR = Concentration of chemical in factor, reclaimed water (mass/volume), F = Number of exposure events VI = Daily volume of reclaimed during the exposure period water ingestion (mass/volume), divided by the number of days BAF = Bioavailability adjustment in the exposure period (events/ factor, time), D2 = D uration of the exposure D1 = Average duration of each period (time), exposure event (time/event), BW = Average body weight (e.g., D2 = D uration of the exposure period 70 kg), (time), AP = Averaging period (time), BW = Average body weight (e.g., C = Appropriate units conversion 70 kg), factor.
