Pesticide Risk Assessment

Pesticide risk assessment is the process of evaluating the potential dangers posed by chemicals used to control pests. It involves studying how these substances can affect human health, wildlife, and the environment. Assessors analyze exposure levels, toxicity, and the likelihood of harm under various conditions. The goal is to determine safe usage guidelines and to ensure that pesticides are effective while minimizing negative impacts. This assessment is crucial for regulating pesticide use and protecting public health and ecosystems.
