[Plant protection products: new tools for exposure and risk assessment in agriculture]. / Antiparassitari: nuovi strumenti per la valutazione dell'esposizione del rischio in ambito agricolo.

Our experience in assessment and management of chemical risk in agriculture consists of three lines: i) definition and modeling of the relationships between different exposure determinants to create the possibility of doing risk assessment without measurements ii) identification, from the Acceptable Operator Exposure Levels (AOEL), of provisional biological exposure indices for pesticides; iii) identification of analytical approaches adequate for the production of the measures needed to support the above mentioned activities starting from the use of multi-residue methods, allowing the determination in one run of several active ingredients and metabolites.
