with
rats,
EPA
has
determined
that
an
added
FQPA
safety
factor
of
3x
is
appropriate
of
assessing
the
risk
of
glufosinate­
ammonium
derived
residues
in
crop
commodities.
Using
the
conservative
assumptions
described
in
the
exposure
section
above,
the
percent
of
the
chronic
RfD
that
will
be
used
for
exposure
to
residues
of
glufosinate­
ammonium
in
food
for
children
1–
6
(the
most
highly
exposed
sub­
group)
is
61%.
Infants
utilize
37%
of
the
chronic
RfD.
As
in
the
adult
situation,
drinking
water
levels
of
comparison
are
higher
than
the
worst
case
DWECs
and
are
expected
to
use
well
below
100%
of
the
RfD,
if
they
occur
at
all.
Therefore,
there
is
a
reasonable
certainty
that
no
harm
will
occur
to
infants
and
children
from
aggregate
exposure
to
residues
of
glufosinateammonium
