摘要:

In this paper, the methodology used by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to protect a small population that may be at high risk, referred to as the “maximally exposed individual”; (MEI) is assessed. Monte Carlo techniques and more reasonable values for exposure parameters are used to determine a more physiologically reasonable MEI. The Monte Carlo MEI is compared to the EPA's quantification of the MEI as well as the results of a standard MC assessment.
