Title:
In Vivo Investigation of Dietary Exposure to 5 Pesticides Research

Summary:
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.

Resumé:
Rapporten præsenterer data fra fodringsforsøg på rotter, hvor rotterne
blev fodret med en kombination af 5 pesticider som oftest findes som
rester i fødevarer i Danmark. Konklusionen på forsøgene var, at effekter
ses hos rotter ved lavere doser, når rotterne udsættes for en kombination af 5 pesticider, end når rotterne udsættes for pesticiderne enkeltvis. En sådan kombinationseffekt viser at en sundhedsmæssig risikovurdering af indtagelse af rester af pesticider er kompliceret.
