Risk and analytical results

hazardObserved
No toxicological values have been set for Chlorpyrifos, which is not approved for use in the EU, due to insufficient data and therefore exposure assessment has not been performed. For the pesticide Acetamiprid, the exposure for the children, exceeds the toxicological reference value ARfD/ADI. Therefore, the analyzed sample cannot be considered safe for consumption. Furthermore, it is noted that the pesticides Chlorpyrifos, Diflubenzuron and Propargite are not approved for use in the EU. The pesticide Diflubenzuron is not listed in the "hazards identified" section.
