Scientific Opinion of the Panel on Plant Protection Products and their Residues (PPR)

(Question N° EFSA-Q-2006-160)Adopted on 15 April 2008

The combined toxicity of two or more compounds can take three possible forms: dose-addition, response-addition, or interaction. However, having considered the evidence on the different forms of combined toxicity and their potential relevance to risk assessment for pesticide residues at the levels occurring in food, the PPR Panel limited this opinion to the possible impact of dose addition.

In particular, the PPR Panel noted that although toxic interactions from pesticide residues in food cannot be ruled out, there is no empirical evidence for their occurrence at the expected levels of exposure from pesticide residues in food.

RfD Definition

NOAELRfD= -------------

UFwhereNOAEL is No observed adverse effect levelUF is uncertainty

Espressed as mg/kg body weight

Acute RfDAcute RfD

An estimate of a daily oral exposure for an acute duration (24 hours or less) to the human population (including susceptible subgroups) that is likely to be without an appreciable risk of adverse health effects over a lifetime

International Estimated Daily Intake

IEDI = Σ (Residues in each vegetable x average consumption)

Values expressed as mg/kg b.w.

Problems:1.Different diets in geographical area (EFSA 26 diets for chronic intake, 18 for acute intake)2.Groups of consumers (newborn, children and adults)
