DISCLAIMER: The tools, as they currently stand, are provided for research and informational purposes only. The underlying models, assumptions, data sources, and methodologies are experimental and might have not yet been peer-reviewed or independently validated. Outputs may be incomplete, uncertain, or inaccurate and should be interpreted with caution. The tools do not provide regulatory, medical, legal, toxicological, or professional risk assessment advice. For the time being, it must not be used as a substitute for expert judgment, regulatory review, or established risk-assessment frameworks, nor relied upon for decision-making related to human health, environmental protection, occupational safety, product registration, compliance, or policy.
Use of these tools for unlawful, harmful, misleading, or unethical purposes—including but not limited to regulatory circumvention, misrepresentation of risk, or inappropriate application to real-world pesticide use decisions—is strictly prohibited. The tool is provided “as is,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to accuracy, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.
Dietary Exposure – Introduction
This section brings two data-driven tools designed to estimate potential dietary exposure to pesticides for both humans (via food consumption) and farm animals (via feed intake), using harmonized datasets, scientifically validated methods, and transparent assumptions.
These tools bring together pesticide residue monitoring data, food and feed consumption information, and animal and human intake models to generate estimated exposure levels under realistic conditions. Results are presented separately for each tool. The first tool, namely human exposure, focuses on dietary exposure of humans, with calculations made per combination of country, commodities, pesticides, and yearly time periods. The second tool, namely farm animal exposure, focuses on estimation of exposure for different farm-animal types based on measured pesticide values in feed within the SPRINT project.
The tools can be accessed from the menu on the left. There you will find specific information on each tools’ intended use and target audience.
Disclaimer: The tools focus on exposure estimation, not a full risk assessment: the outputs do not represent health risk and should not be interpreted as direct indicators of harm.
