Risk and analytical results

hazardObserved
///unofficial translation: The content of dimethoate found leads to an exceeding of the ARfD for German and for European consumers. Therefore, a health risk cannot be excluded with regard to the content of the active substance found. Omethoate, dimethoate and imidacloprid led to neurotoxic effects in animal studies. For omethoate and imidacloprid, the ARfD was derived based on these effects. For the consideration of cumulative risk, the ARfD for neurotoxic effects was considered for dimethoate for the calculation of the hazard index (HI). The HI is above 1 for Dutch children.
