Abstract

The exposure assessment method and model of various reclaimed water uses are built combining with Beijing reclaimed water project. Firstly the daily ingesting dose and lifetime average daily dose (LADD) of exposure people are provided via field work and monitoring analysis, which could be used in health risk assessment as quantitative reference. Take park irrigation as a example, for occupational workers, the total daily ingesting dose is 0.07 L/d, LADD of disinfection by-products(DBPs) via the respiratory route is 2.8 x 10(-7) - 1.2 x 10(-5) mg x (kg x d)(-1), LADD of DBPs via the dermal route is 5.8 x 10(-8) - 2.4 x 10(-6) mg x (kg x d)(-1). For common people, the total daily ingesting dose is 0.04-0.05 L/d, LADD of DBPs via the respiratory route is 1.1 x 10(-7) - 6.8 x 10(-6) mg x (kg x d)(-1).
