Acute reference dose

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The acute reference dose ( ARfD ) is a concept for risk assessment of plant protection products . For residues in food, the ARfD is the amount of substance that can be ingested with food within 24 hours or a shorter period of time without any noticeable health risk. The ARfD is derived from the NOAEL using a safety factor . The concept was developed at the Joint FAO / WHO Meeting on Pesticide Residues (JMPR) in 1994.
