Hygienic justification of measures to minimizing chemical exposure to children associated with residual amounts of agrochemicals in vegetables
Abstract
The relevance of this problem is due to the widespread use of agrochemicals in vegetable growing and the high vulnerability of children to chemical factors. The objective of this study is to formulate and substantiate a set of hygiene measures aimed at reducing the intake of residual amounts of agrochemicals by children through the consumption of vegetable products. This paper analyzes the sources and routes of agrochemical exposure in the food chain, age-related and physiological characteristics of exposure in children, as well as existing regulatory and technological control measures. Methodologically, the study is based on a systematic analysis of scientific literature, the results of sanitary monitoring, and the principles of risk-based hygiene regulation.
