Refined assessment and perspectives on the cumulative risk resulting from the dietary exposure to pesticide residues in the Danish population.

Unlabelled: Relatively few studies are available on realistic cumulative risk assessments for dietary pesticide exposure. Despite available studies showing low risk, public concern remains. A method to estimate realistic residue levels based on information from spraying journals and supervised residue trials was described in a previous publication.

Quantifying dietary exposure to pesticide residues using spraying journal data.

Relatively few studies are available on the combined risk of realistic dietary pesticide exposure. Despite available studies showing low risk, public concern remains. Recent methods used to estimate realistic exposure levels have a number of drawbacks, and better methods are needed.
