  In this instrument:
                                     abnormality of kidney structure or function means:
(a)          having a glomerular filtration rate of less than 60 mL/min/1.73 m2; or
(b)          having kidney damage, as evidenced by renal biopsy, imaging studies, albuminuria, urinary sediment abnormalities or other markers of abnormal renal function; or
(c)          having had a kidney transplant.
                                     being exposed to arsenic as specified means:
(a)          consuming drinking water with an average arsenic concentration of at least 50 micrograms per litre for a cumulative period of at least ten years; or
(b)          consuming drinking water resulting in a cumulative total arsenic exposure equivalent to having consumed drinking water containing at least 50 micrograms per litre for at least ten years; or
(c)          having clinical evidence of chronic arsenic toxicity.
                                     being overweight or obese means:
(a)          having a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 25 or greater; or
(b)          having a waist circumference of greater than 80 centimetres in women or greater than 94 centimetres in men.
Note: BMI is also defined in the Schedule 1 - Dictionary.
                                     BMI means W/H2 where:
(a)          W is the person's weight in kilograms; and
(b)          H is the person's height in metres.
                                     cadmium fumes means combustion products, aerosols, vapours or dust arising through industrial processes or from workplace practices that involve the refining, manufacture or use of cadmium.
                                     chronic kidney disease means an abnormality of kidney structure or function that has been present for at least three months.
Note: abnormality of kidney structure or function is also defined in the Schedule 1 - Dictionary.
                                     cumulative equivalent dose means the total dose of ionising radiation received by the particular organ or tissue from external exposure, internal exposure or both, apart from normal background radiation exposure in Australia, calculated in accordance with the methodology set out in Guide to calculation of 'cumulative equivalent dose' for the purpose of applying ionising radiation factors contained in Statements of Principles determined under Part XIA of the Veterans' Entitlements Act 1986 (Cth), Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency, as in force on 2 August 2017.
         Note 1: Examples of circumstances that might lead to exposure to ionising radiation include being present during or subsequent to the testing or use of nuclear weapons, undergoing diagnostic or therapeutic medical procedures involving ionising radiation, and being a member of an aircrew, leading to increased levels of exposure to cosmic radiation.
         Note 2: For the purpose of dose reconstruction, dose is calculated as an average over the mass of a specific tissue or organ. If a tissue is exposed to multiple sources of ionising radiation, the various dose estimates for each type of radiation must be combined.
                                     having been exposed to second-hand smoke means having been in an
