Dietary cumulative acute risk assessment of organophosphorus, carbamates and pyrethroids insecticides for the Brazilian population

Cumulative acute dietary risk assessments of organophosphorus (OPs), carbamates (CBs) and pyrethroids (PYs)
were conducted for the Brazilian population. Residue data for 30786 samples of 30 foods were obtained from
two national monitoring programs and one University laboratory, and consumption data from a national survey
conducted among persons 10 years or older. Acephate and methamidophos were used as index compounds (IC)
for OPs, oxamyl for CBs and deltamethrin for PYs. Exposures were estimated using the Monte Carlo Risk
Assessment (MCRA 8.2) software.
