Swedish term or phrase: dimensionerande för exponeringen
Inom mellersta delen av området är bly dimensionerande för exponeringen. Den beräknade exponeringen uppgår till som mest ca 7 gånger den acceptabla exponeringen. Sammantaget kan oacceptabla risker avseende långtidsexponering inte uteslutas.

Health risk assessment. Are they implying that "the lead level is (so high) that it is designed to create exposure."?

English translation:most critical (substance) for the exposure
Explanation:
(I suppose "design basis substance", derived from "design basis accident", would not be understood)

There is a concept of "dimensionerande ämne" that I think they are referring to. There are probably other harmful substances involved too, but lead takes precedence because it holds a greater potential to cause harm, which is what makes it "dimensionerande" (or, more precisely, a "dimensionerande ämne").

Most clarifying source:

"Denna rapport fokuserar på tre metaller som är vanligt förekommande på förorenade områden, och där det generellt är risker för människors hälsa som är dimensionerande, d.v.s. de maximalt tillåtna koncentrationerna i jorden på det förorenade området bestäms så att exponeringen för människor inte ska bli för hög. Dessa är arsenik, bly och kadmium"

design condition for exposure


Explanation:
I've started to use this term for the Swe 'dimensionering(ande). Wonder if you've seen it, too.

"...in this area, lead is the design condition for exposure."
