People are exposed to mixtures of pesticides from eating foods containing minute
residues of pesticides that were used to treat the products while they were growing,
from using products in their home or garden containing pesticides and possibly as
part of their work. This project has identified the information that is available to
describe the possible sources of pesticide exposure in Great Britain, has collected
the available data and devised a model to use this information to estimate the
exposure of the population. Results are presented for different groups of people
exposed to pesticides mixtures and for the population. In addition, the potential
impact of the research on regulation of pesticides is discussed.
