This table shows the top 20 pesticides modeled to have the highest excess levels when summed across all importing markets. For each, the table shows "critical effects," meaning the most sensitive non-cancer endpoint/s documented in EPA risk assessments.
1 Numbers in health effects column indicate the chronic population adjusted doses (cPADs) EPA identified, i.e. the highest dose to which a person could be exposed over the course of a lifetime with no expected adverse health effects. cPADs provided are provided in units of mg pesticide per kg bodyweight per day. Value of "X" in health effects column indicates that EPA did not quantitatively estimate a cPAD.
