Risk and analytical results

hazardObserved
No toxicological reference values have been set for the pesticides Chlorpyrifos, Picoxystrobin and Tolfenpyrad. Due to insufficient data, exposure assessment has not been performed for these pesticides. Accordingly, it is not possible to derive a health safety with regard to the determined residue levels of the above pesticides. For the rest of pesticides, according to the available toxicological and consumption data, the exposure of both population groups, adults and children, does not exceed the toxicological reference value(ARfD/ADI). Furthermore, it is noted that the pesticides Carbendazim, Chlorpyrifos, Fipronil, Hexaconazole, Picoxystrobin, Tolfenyrad and Triyclazole are not approved for use in the EU and the determined concentrations of the pesticides Fipronil, Kresoxim methyl, Tolfernpyrad and Tricyclazole are much higher than the maximum permitted levels provided for by legislation(%MRL)
