Estimating a population’s exposure to a given agent in quantitative health risk assessment (QHRA) requires the use of human exposure variables (HEVs), which allow for the individual characteristics of the population in question to be taken into account as much as possible. HEVs aim to describe the anthropometric and physiological variables, as well as the behaviors and local habits, of the population under study. Since 2002, the Department of Environmental Health (DSE) at the French Institute for Public Health Surveillance (InVS) has contributed to the development of a number of HEVs: body mass, time-space budget, tap water consumption, the amount of soil and dust ingested by children, and body surface area. These VHE were developed using data from the work of various French agencies (French Agency for Food Safety (Afssa), National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies (Insee)) or are the result of literature reviews. Some of these variables are useful for estimating the exposure of the French population within the framework of EQRS using a deterministic approach or, for some of them, a probabilistic approach, by providing associated probability distributions. The DSE sought to increase the visibility of these VHE by compiling all of its work in this field into a summary document. This summary briefly outlines the context of the study that led to the development of the VHE, the method used, the source studies selected, as well as the strengths and limitations identified for each of the proposed datasets.
