Figures & data

Table 1. Information sources and the linking needed for estimating exposure.

Table 2. Number of light metal food packaging units sold per annum (2005) in the UK for each packed food type (extracted from Euromonitor data).

Table 3. Food items (millions of units per annum) considered as being packaged in coated metal which could contribute towards exposure to BPA and their market shares.

Table 4. Surface area to pack weight ratio of metal parts in contact with food (cm2 g–1).

Table 5. Market split of different food can types and food can ends only, along with the area for side seam and three-piece can bodies where a side seam would be used.

Table 6. Coating categories used in the FACET project and their extraction values (mg dm–2) for BPA (1 mg dm–2 = 0.01 mg cm–2).

Table 7. Types of coating used for food and beverage cans and their percentage market share (by volume as wet coatings).

Table 8. Mean, 95th and 97.5th percentile consumptions (g/person/day) for consumers only and the total population for food categories packaged in light metal packaging.

Table 9. BPA exposure estimates (mg/person/day) from FACET for all foodstuffs packaged in metal.

Table 10. Refined deterministic assessment of exposure for the total population to BPA from light metal packaging for those metal packs with significant market shares.

Table 11. Refined deterministic assessment of exposure to BPA (consumers only) from light metal packaging for those metal packs with significant market shares.

Table 12. Comparison of refined deterministic estimate (RD) of exposure to BPA with FACET output (mg/person/day) for UK NDNS 19–64 year olds, 2000 survey, for total population (not all canned/jarred foodstuffs are included).
