Popis: Abstract This abstract presents a report on the proposed work programme, focus on cumulative risk assessment (CRA) for chemical risks, specifically pesticide residues in food. While not a scientific publication, this technical report aims to provide insights without including the fellow's data to avoid publication restrictions. This report focuses on addressing the question concerning the trigger value to perform a prospective CRA in case of a new maximum residue level (MRL) setting. The 1,000 margin of exposure (MOE) threshold value was tested and compared to preliminary ANSES results. Alternative thresholds were calculated and explored. The EU‐FORA fellow selected two cumulative assessment groups (CAGs) related to acute craniofacial alterations and chronic thyroid effects. The fellow performed exposure assessments, integrating effects data, French monitoring data, processing factors, agricultural uses, MRLs and extrapolations into Monte Carlo risk assessment (MCRA). Retrospective cumulative exposures using MCRA were conducted for children, adults and a vulnerable group of childbearing women based on the French survey INCA3, identifying background levels at P99.9. The fellow also performed prospective assessments with MCRA, analysing results at P99.9 to evaluate the adequacy of the 1,000 MOE threshold. Alternative thresholds are discussed and proposed.
