The Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment is responsible for risk assessment guidance for the AB-2588 Hot Spots program in California. The AB-2588 Hot Spots program addresses risks from airborne pollutants from stationary sources. Semivolatile chemicals and heavy metals emitted from stationary sources can be deposited into soil, pasture and produce. Consumption of contaminated home produced beef, chicken, pork, dairy products, eggs, leafy, exposed, unexposed and root produce can be significant pathways of exposure for these chemicals. We therefore developed consumption distributions (g/day kg body weight) for use in stochastic risk assessment of children in the AB-2588 program. The distributions are developed using the Pacific Region subset of the 1989-91 Continuing Surveys of Food Intakes of Individuals (1989-1991 CSFII) raw data. The California population dominates the Pacific region population that is comprised of California, Oregon and Washington. The mean, standard deviation and 90th and 95th percentiles in g/kg body weight per day for the empirical distributions are as follows: beef (2.24, 2.63, 5.96, 7.97) chicken (1.80, 1.96, 4.29, 4.77) pork (1.31, 1.46, 3.14, 5.10), dairy products (12.0, 18.7, 31.2, 51.9), eggs (3.21, 3.61, 8.00, 10.3) exposed (4.16, 5.58, 10.0, 15.7), leafy (2.92, 3.69, 8.16, 10.9), protected (1.63, 2.16, 4.66, 6.66), root (4.08, 4.66, 11.3, 14.9). The empirical distributions are fit to parametric models using the Crystal Ball (r) program.
