Risk and analytical results

hazardObserved
No toxicological values have been set for the pesticides Dimethoate and Omethoate, due to insufficient data and therefore exposure assessment have not been performed. Accordingly, it is not possible to derive a health safety with regard to the determined residue levels of Dimethoate and Omethoate. For the pesticides Cyfluthrin and Lufenuron, according to the available toxicological and consumption data, the exposure of both population groups, adults and children, do not exceed the toxicological reference value (ARfD / ADI). Furthermore, it is noted that all the above pesticides are not approved for use in the EU.
