EUROPE: Review of exposure data to pesticides
Over the last 30-40 years there has been growing concern regarding the contamination of the environment by pesticides and public concerns regarding their own exposure to pesticides began to gain momentum around the early 2000s. In 2014, the ‘EFSA Guidance on the assessment of exposure of operators, workers, residents and bystanders in risk assessment for plant protection products’ and a spreadsheet calculator to facilitate calculation of exposures were published.
