The objective of this study was to derive dermal absorption values for use with the tool when substance-specific data are unavailable. Using a database of 680 human in vitro studies covering 23 formulation types and 217 active ingredients, 4 statistical models were applied to derive fixed percentage absorption values for concentrated and diluted pesticide formulations. Furthermore, individual linear dose-absorption equations were generated based on the statistical relationship between applied dose and absorbed dose per µg/cm² for the same formulation groups. As fixed percentages of the applied dose, 75th percentile values for concentrated products were 2.2% and 1.2%; for spray dilutions 1.0% and 24%; for solvent-based, water-based and solids 13% and 15%, respectively. Corresponding 95th percentile values for concentrates were 8.3%, 6.0%, and 3.8%; for spray dilutions 58%, 38%; and 41% for solvent-based, water-based and solids, respectively. The resulting fixed percentage defaults provide robust values for conventional use within the ICPPE tool. The alternative dose-based approach incorporates dose-based absorption properties and allows the implementation of the current dataset in future iterations of the risk assessment tool, in alignment with the novel modular dermal exposure prediction model (MODEXMO) concept.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":622,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Consumer Protection and Food Safety","volume":"21 1","pages":"25 - 39"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2026-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s00003-026-01601-y.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147579535","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The decision whether the risk of an operator handling a specific pesticide product is acceptable or not requires adequate exposure models to estimate the potential exposure of pesticide product users. Reliable and robust models exist for tractor-mounted spray equipment but there has been less data available for handheld spray equipment, which remains the prevalent technique used by the majority of pesticide users worldwide. The objective of this initiative was to develop improved modelling tools for handheld applications using available exposure data for operators mixing/loading and/or applying pesticide products with handheld equipment. Relevant exposure studies were collected and reviewed. In total, 55 studies covering applications outdoors as well as in greenhouses were accepted for the development of a new global database. Parameters such as amount of pesticide active substance handled, formulation type or spray direction were analysed and selected using both statistical methods and expert knowledge. Separate regression models were developed for the mixing/loading task and for the application tasks with the amount of pesticide active substance handled being the main factor of exposure. The models allow to mitigate dermal exposure by selection of total or partial body clothing layers and to mitigate hand exposure by applying protective gloves. A robust modelling approach was developed based on the most substantial database for hand-held equipment compiled so far. The models have been incorporated in a risk assessment and mitigation tool that was reviewed and endorsed for inclusion in the food and agriculture organization (FAO) pesticide registration toolkit.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":622,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Consumer Protection and Food Safety","volume":"21 1","pages":"11 - 23"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2026-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s00003-026-01606-7.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147579536","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to monitor the effects of temperature and humidity variations on the quality of pelleted concentrate feed in steel silos under real-world Brazilian farm conditions during 28-day storage. Three 4-ton steel silos containing concentrate feed for lactating cows were evaluated on a dairy farm in southern Brazil. Internal and external temperature and humidity were recorded continuously. Samples were collected weekly (D0-D28). They underwent bromatological, physicochemical, and microbiological analyses (vitamins A and D3, fatty acids, total aerobic count, and mold/yeast counts). Despite extreme conditions (50 °C, 90% relative humidity) in the steel silos, microbial counts remained stable. However, vitamins A and D3 decreased significantly (233 ± 12 to 132 ± 13.08 µg/100 g dry matter (DM) and 1,577 ± 74 to 929 ± 295 IU/kg DM, respectively; 15–20% loss), while other nutrients remained stable. While metallic silos effectively preserve the quality of bulk feed in the short term, significant thermosensitive nutrient losses occur under tropical conditions. Farmers should align storage durations with seasonal climate patterns and consider protective technologies for vitamins. The findings highlight the need for comparative studies of storage methods and practical solutions tailored to tropical dairy systems, where nutrient preservation directly impacts milk production economics.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":622,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Consumer Protection and Food Safety","volume":"21 1","pages":"87 - 93"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2026-02-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s00003-025-01593-1.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147579516","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

European regulatory frameworks employ 2 approaches for flowering applications: (a) fixing a growth stage for the last application (BBCH scale) or (b) establishing a fixed pre-harvest interval (PHI), expressed as days before harvest. Understanding the relationship between these approaches is crucial for designing effective supervised residue trials and ensuring reliable residue assessments. This case study uses residue trial data from fungicide applications at growth stages BBCH 61 and 69 in barley and wheat respectively. We evaluated how well-fixed PHI requirements align with natural crop development patterns across European cereal production regions. Results reveal a significant mismatch between fixed PHI of 35 days (window acceptance 26–44 days) and biological crop development, with only 34–50% of trials achieving regulatory compliance depending on crop and region. This biological-temporal disconnect necessitates conducting 15–35 trials to achieve a complete residue package of eight valid trials with reasonable confidence. When crops develop more slowly than prescribed PHIs, stakeholders face the dilemma of collecting immature samples (contradicting the “as low as reasonably achievable” principle) or risking trial invalidation. The consistency of these patterns across Europe indicates the challenge stems from imposing fixed intervals on inherently variable biological processes rather than regional variations. Based on these scientific findings, we propose transitioning to purely BBCH-based label instructions for flowering cereal applications to better align with agronomic reality, improve farmer compliance, and provide more accurate dietary exposure assessments for consumers.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":622,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Consumer Protection and Food Safety","volume":"21 1","pages":"53 - 60"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2026-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s00003-025-01594-0.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147579164","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
