Reconsideration of the human toxicological reference values (ARfD, ADI) for chlorpyrifos - BfR opinion No 026/2012, 1 June 2012
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The insecticide chlorpyrifos has been tested in numerous toxicological studies in the past. On the basis of these studies, the EU-evaluation of the active ingredient was finalized in 2005. Since then, new studies and data on the toxicity of chlorpyrifos have been published. The US American Environmental Protection Agency EPA has evaluated these studies and derived new toxicological reference values. The BfR has come to the conclusion that within the EU too, a reassessment of the human health risks associated with chlorpyrifos should be conducted.

Over 800 pesticides are currently approved for use in one or more EU countries. The maximum residue levels (MRL) for agricultural pesticides are derived from field trials conducted under good agricultural practice (GAP). The MRL is a legally enforceable limit related to GAP. The results from field trials would only be used to establish MRLs if the estimated intake of residues did not exceed the...

متن کاملRat brain CYP2B-enzymatic activation of chlorpyrifos to the oxon mediates cholinergic neurotoxicity.
Chlorpyrifos is a commonly used insecticide that can be metabolically activated by CYP2B to the acetylcholinesterase inhibitor chlorpyrifos-oxon causing cholinergic overstimulation and neurotoxicity. Rat brain extracts can also activate chlorpyrifos in vitro, and the lack of circulating oxon in serum suggests that metabolic activation within the brain may be responsible for chlorpyrifos neuroto...
متن کاملESTIMATING DIETARY INTAKE OF PESTICIDE RESIDUES CONTENTS Background Long-term dietary intake Short-term dietary intake Handling of cases where JMPR estimates of dietary intake exceed the ADI or ARfD
To assess whether the maximum residue level proposed to CCPR, for use as a MRL, provides sufficient consumer safety, available residue data are combined with cultural dietary information to estimate potential residue intake by consumers. The consumer is considered to be adequately protected when estimated dietary intake of pesticide residues does not exceed the acceptable daily intake (ADI) or ...
