Estimates the chemical Intake rate by ingestion of contaminated fruits and vegetables [mg/Kg*day]

 methods 

It contains functions for dose calculation for different routes, fitting data to probability distributions, random number generation (Monte Carlo simulation) and calculation of systemic and carcinogenic risks. For more information see the publication: Barrio-Parra et al. (2019) "Human-health probabilistic risk assessment: the role of exposure factors in an urban garden scenario" <doi:10.1016/j.landurbplan.2019.02.005>.
