Risk and analytical results

hazardObserved
Der festgestellte Gehalt an Methomyl führt zu einer Ausschöpfung der ARfD von 552 %. Die Summe der festgestellten Gehalte von Acephat und Methamidophps führt zu einer Ausschöpfung der ARfD von 623 %. Ausserdem liegt das kumulative Risiko Hazard Index (HI) hinsichtlich neurotoxischen Effekten für Acephat, Methamidophos, Methomyl und Bifenthrin über 1 (HI = 12) Daher kann ein gesundheitliches Risiko durch den gefundenen Wirkstoff-Gehalte nicht ausgeschlossen werden. /// unofficial translation: The determined content of methomyl leads to an exhaustion of the ARfD of 552 %. The sum of the levels of acephate and methamidophp detected leads to an ARfD of 623 %. Furthermore, the cumulative hazard index (HI) with respect to neurotoxic effects for acephate, methamidophos, methomyl and bifenthrin is above 1 (HI = 12). Therefore, a health risk due to the active substance levels found cannot be excluded.
