Scope

The body surface area of skin of European population. This information can be used when evaluating the exposures through skin.

Definition

Data

The total body surface area is calculated based on the weight and the length of the population with the formula provided by Mosteller [1]. The body surface area of different body parts is estimated based on the percentages of different body parts provided by a FactSheet of ConsExpo modelling tool The percentages used are presented in Table 1.
