Determination of Residual Behavior of Flufenacet in Wheat and its Dietary Risk Assessment by Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry by Jing YANG, Xin-ju WEI, Xiao-long MA, Li JI, Xiao-jing WANG

“…There are some uncertainties in risk assessment, which are mainly reflected in three aspects: 1) No chlorine-related information has been collected from the database of the FAO/WHO Joint Meeting on Pesticide Residues, and no reference dose has been found, so acute dietary intake risk assessment cannot be carried out. 2) The maximum residue limit of registered crops in various countries was used for the residual data of flufenacet, and the median residue value could not be obtained, and the processing factor of cooking process was not considered, so the calculated risk entropy was high. 3) In this paper, only wheat was used as a single exposure route to exposure, while daily residents were also exposed to flufenacet through other foods, so there are still some limitations in the overall risk assessment of flufenacet exposure for residents.…”
