Pesticides for plant protection may affect human health and environment. To minimize the risks, science-based hazard identification, exposure assessment, and risk characterization from various aspects must be conducted.

Therefore, the methods of safety assessment of pesticides differ by country or region. We will discuss here on the latest situation of safety evaluation of pesticides in the world.
