Residues and Consumer Exposure:

• Evaluation of metabolism and residue data:
  • Establishing of a residue definition
  • Setting of Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs)
  • Estimation of residue levels in rotational crops based on existing studies and / or appropriate model calculations on the residue transfer from soil to a rotational crop
    
    
• Consumer exposure assessments:
  • Use of standard models (WHO, BBA, PSD model) on a routine basis
  • Implementation of country specific requirements and higher tier (probabilistic) assessments on a case-by-case basis
