Update of the 2025 and 2026 standard regulatory actions for prospective and retrospective cumulative dietary risk assessment of pesticides in MCRA
Regulatory concern over human exposure to chemical mixtures has intensified, as individuals are continuously exposed to multiple chemical substances from various sources.
