For the calculations the following values were used and they are the same for all products and substances:
Inhalation speed Qinh during application = 1.75 m³/hour
Inhalation speed Qinh when driving = 0.45 m³/hour
Duration exposure application = 0.25 (i.e. 15 minutes)
Duration exposure driving = 0.25 (i.e. 15 minutes)
Body weight (BW) = 70 kg
The respirable part Fresp is as stated in Table 9.1Table 9.1 set to 1 (=100% intake by inhalation), however, with exception of the low hydrocarbon fractions where existing data indicates max. 25% absorption (i.e. a factor 0.25 is used in the calculations).
