Introduction -- Setting priorities among pesticides for risk assessment -- Risk-assessment practices for pesticides -- California data to inform priority-setting and risk assessment of pesticides -- Appendix A : Biosketches of the committee to review California's risk-assessment process for pesticides -- Appendix B : Department of pesticide regulation risk-assessment guidance documents -- Appendix C : Technical recommendations for department of pesticide regulation risk assessments -- Appendix D : Pesticide toxicity estimates of the Department of Pesticide Regulation and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency used to generate bottom histogram of figure 3-3. "The California Department of Pesticide Regulation (DPR) conducts human health risk assessments as part of its mission to ensure the protection of workers and public health in the state. The risk assessments identify potential health hazards posed by pesticides, characterize dose-response relationships, and estimate exposure to characterize potential risks to humans. ... Review of California's Risk-Assessment Process for Pesticides examines DPR's processes of hazard identification, exposure assessment, dose-response analysis, and risk characterization to determine whether they are consistent with best practices. This report also evaluates the methods used for setting priorities among pesticides for risk assessment and identifies possible options for improving efficiency and productivity." |
