Dietary exposure to pesticides (or to xenobiotics in general) is determined by calculating the product of the amount of chemical in or on the food and the total quantity of food consumed. The quantity of chemical potentially consumed in foods can be estimated from data obtained from residue field trials, metabolism studies, and/or monitoring data. Information from these sources is then analyzed with one of several available models containing food consumption factors from surveys conducted by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). For calculation of...
