WiGRAMP Terms of reference

The Working Group's terms of reference are:

To assess the potential for multiple residues of pesticides and veterinary medicines in food to modify individual toxicity in humans - the so-called cocktail effect.

To evaluate what assumptions can be made about the toxicity of pesticides in combination.

To consider the potential impact of exposure to pesticides and veterinary medicines by different routes.

To formulate advice on the standard risk assessment procedures applied to the safety evaluation of individual pesticides and veterinary medicines in the light of the above considerations.
