  1. Dietary intake as well as the Margins of Exposure for neurotoxic risk assessment (MOEN) and carcinogenic risk assessment (MOEC) are reported. Data are expressed as μg/kg-bw/day for dietary intake. MOEN values are reported for BMDL10 (0.2 mg/kg-bw/day). MOEC values are reported for BMDL10 (0.31 and 0.18 mg/kg-bw/day)
