Estimating the exposure to components of food packaging

Except for metal-polymer coated, polyolefins, acrylics, and phenolics, these Cfs have been rounded to one significant figure from those reported in the 1988 Recommendations. h- The CF for polyolefins is currently subdivided as follows LDPE, 0.18 HDPE, 0.13 PP, 0.02. If polyolefins coverage only involves PP, a minimum CF of 0.05 is used. 

As discussed in the text, a minimum CF of 0.05 will be used initially for all exposure estimates. 

Package Category Aqueous Food-Type Distribution (fT) Acidic Alcoholic Fatty 

For 10 % ethanol as the food simulant for aqueous and acidic foods, the food-type distribution factors should be summed.
