TI  - [Consumer risk assessment in case of maximum residue levels (MRLs) violations in 
      food].
PG  - 377-88
AB  - Maximum Residue Levels (MRLs), as legally binding normative values, have appeared 
      in Polish food legislation for the first time in 1993. Currently, existing MRLs 
      include those values implemented from EU Directives and National MRLs set up by 
      experts from the National Institute of Hygiene. Monitoring of pesticide residues 
      allows to assess exposure of consumers to these compounds present in food 
      products. Monitoring results can also influence the scope of plant protection 
      products application, and change in MRLs. Another tool used to check compliance 
      of food products with MRLs is official control of foodstuffs. Poland, since its 
      accession to the European Union in 2004 takes part in the EU coordinated 
      monitoring programme and carries out the official control of pesticide residues 
      in foodstuffs. Food present on the market must not contain pesticide residues at 
      level exceeding legally binding MRLs. Each case of MRLs violation requires 
      performing of individual risk assessment. In such case so called Predicted Short 
      Term Intake from sampling result (PSTI) is calculated and compared to ARfD or to 
      ADI. Such an assessment is applied to a high percentile of consumption (97,5) 
      among general population (adults) and among the most vulnerable consumer group 
      (children aged 1,5 up to 6 years old). Depending on the results of the 
      assessment, the information about MRL exceedances may be notified to the Rapid 
      Alert System for Food and Feed (RASFF) by the Polish Contact Point placed in 
      Chief Sanitary Inspectorate. In Poland, the risk assessment for MRLs violations 
      is performed in the National Institute of Hygiene. The result of risk assessment 
      is a basis for Chief Sanitary Inspector to undertake appropriate risk management 
      decisions to eliminate of potential health risk for consumers.
