The Australasian College of
Toxicology & Risk Assessment

Join the Australasian College of Toxicology & Risk Assessment (ACTRA) in a unique webinar series that commenced in June 2020! The webinar series will cover two overarching themes in relation to toxicology and risk assessment in Australia:

  1. Lessons learnt from case studies.
  2. Practical applications of theoretical concepts.

These sessions will provide you with an opportunity to gain insight from Australia’s most accomplished and experienced toxicologists and risk assessors, and more importantly encourage an open forum for questions and discussion.

ACTRA is pleased to present this webinar on “Human Health Assessment of Pesticide Food and Feed Metabolites – 2nd session” by Rhian Cope, on August 1, 2024.

Human Health Assessment of Pesticide Food and Feed Residues

The second session will delve into how food and feed residue studies are integrated into the human health risk assessment in relation to the residue definition and health-based guidance values. A practical case study based on fipronil will be included in the session.

The session will cover:

  • Integrating data from food and feed residue studies into the residue definition and health-based guidance values.
  • How to determine if a major food/feed residue/metabolite is covered by the metabolism of the parent molecule in animals.
  • What to do with plant/food/feed-specific metabolites that are not covered by the metabolism of the parent molecule in animals.
  • Handling data-poor plant/food/feed residues and metabolites.
