Risk is the relationship between toxicity and exposure.
A tolerance is the maximum legal level of a pesticidal chemical that EPA considers safe. In the past, EPA gave out provisional or preliminary tolerance findings, but these are no longer allowed. Exposure from food, water, air, and other routes will be considered when determining risk. It is expected that between 2500-4500 tolerances will be reduced or products phased out. This will affect growers in the year 2000 cropping season.
