In France, risk assessors must deal with a very heterogeneous set of available data, depending on the HEF considered: Several French datasets are available for body weight and food consumption, fewer for activity factors and residential characteristics, and none for skin surface, respiratory rate, or accidental soil or water intake. This volatility in available data can affect the results of the deterministic and probabilistic risk calculations. Population-relevant data should be used to avoid incorrect health impact conclusions and inappropriate public health decisions. This conclusion underlines the need both to produce HEF relevant to the French population and to make them available to French risk assessors.
