  1. LOD limit of detection
  2. aBased on Dutch Milieukeur data (content data from batches of rubber granulate, submitted for certification in the period 2010–2016) [68]
  3. bIn the absence of Dutch Milieukeur data, a fictitious level of 100 mg/kg was chosen
  4. cFor dermal exposure calculations, the value of the LOD was taken as a worst case
