Question

which of the following measurements for pesticides refers to the amount of pesticide that is acceptable to digest over the period of one day?
mrl
adi
ele
mla

Explanation:

• MRL (Maximum Residue Limit): It refers to the maximum concentration of a pesticide residue that is legally permitted in or on food commodities and animal feed.
• ADI (Acceptable Daily Intake): It is the amount of a pesticide that can be ingested daily over a lifetime without appreciable health risk. So, this is the one that refers to the amount of pesticide acceptable to digest over one day.
• ELE (Emergency Listing Exemption): It is related to the emergency use of pesticides under certain circumstances, not about the amount acceptable to digest.
• MLA (not a standard pesticide - related measurement in this context): There is no such standard measurement in the context of pesticide safety regarding daily acceptable intake.

Answer:

ADI
