2.5. Estimate of daily intake (EDI) of aflatoxin M1
The estimated daily intake for adults of AFM1 was calculated for the different climate periods and assuming a body weight of 60 kg. For each climate period, the estimated daily intake was calculated as the product of the mean concentration of AFM1 in the analyzed samples by ELISA and HPLC methods and the average consumption of milk per adult of 0.148 L/person/day in Brazil (IBGE, 2009). Results were expressed as μg of AFM1 per person per day.
