been adopted for zinc in the derivation of HILs:

13.5          Calculated HILs
On the basis of the above the following HILs have been derived for zinc (refer to Appendix B for equations used to calculate the HILs and Appendix C for calculations):
HIL Scenario            HIL (mg/kg)                      Percentage Contribution from Exposure Pathways
Ingestion of Soil/Dust  Ingestion of Home-grown Produce  Dermal Absorption of Soil/Dust                  Inhalation (dust)
Residential A           7400                             98                                              --                 1  <1
Residential B           60 000                           95                                              --                 5  <1
Recreational C          30 000                           98                                              --                 2  <1
Commercial D            400 000                          93                                              --                 7  <1
