III. Aggregate Risk Assessment and Determination of Safety Section 408b2Ai of FFDCA
allows EPA to establish a tolerance the legal limit for a pesticide chemical residue in or on a food only if EPA
determines that the tolerance is safe.
Section 408b2Aii of FFDCA
defines safe to mean that there is a reasonable certainty that no harm will result from aggregate exposure to the pesticide chemical residue, including all anticipated dietary exposures and all other exposures for which there is reliable information. This includes exposure through drinking water and in residential settings but does not include occupational exposure. Section 408b2C of FFDCA requires EPA to give special consideration to exposure of infants and children to the pesticide chemical residue in establishing a tolerance and to ensure that there is a reasonable certainty that no harm will result to infants and children from aggregate exposure to the pesticide chemical residue. . . .
