Pesticides Research no. 81, 2003

In Vivo Investigation of Dietary Exposure to 5 Pesticides

Abstract
The report presents data from toxicity studies in rats. The rats were
exposed through the diet to a combination of 5 pesticides often found as
residues in food in Denmark. The conclusion of the studies was that
effects are seen at lower dose levels when rats are exposed to the five
pesticides in combination than when the rats are exposed to the
individual pesticides. Such a combined effect shows that risk assessment
of health effects of residues of pesticides is complicated.
