Evaluation of EFSA’s new Scientific Opinion on Bisphenol A
ثبت نشده
چکیده
DTU has focused on Part 2 that gives the background for the new EFSA temporary TDI of 4 μg/kg bw/day. In addition, the overall conclusion with regards to risk assessment has been considered. DTU has not made a specific evaluation of the EFSA exposure assessment (i.e. Part 1). DTU has in September 2013 evaluated the EFSA draft exposure assessment and concluded the draft was of high quality and based on high quality data. This is still the opinion of DTU.
