Pesticide Dietary Risk Assessment in the European Union Uses Alternative Toxicological Methodologies for Identifying Leftovers

Damao Donell

People are continually exposed to trace amounts of pesticide residues that are found in food products. Because of this, determining the risk posed by pesticide residues found in food necessitates not only identifying and evaluating the active ingredient's toxicological qualities, but also those of its metabolites, isomers, and degradates. The use of numerous laboratory animals is necessary for this. Contrarily, there is currently a focus on reducing the use of animals in toxicological research.
