Intake fraction (also iF) is the fraction of emission that is eventually inhaled or ingested by someone in the target population (population of interest) - integrated over time and space.

Intake fraction can be estimated with different methods, such as

1. iF based on measured concentration fields
2. iF based on exposure monitoring
3. iF based on shortcuts
