Assumed to weigh 7.5 kg, to breathe 2.1 m³ of air per day, to drink 0.8 L of water per day (formula fed) or 0.3 L/day (fed solid food) or 0.0 L/day (breast fed) and to ingest 30 mg of soil per day (Health Canada, 1998).

Footnote b

Based on the highest measured concentration of aniline, 5.2 ppb in 31 samples of breast milk from women residing in Ontario (DeBruin et al., 1999), a daily consumption of 750 g breast milk per day for infants and the assumption that infants in Canada are exclusively breast-fed (Health Canada, 1998).
