G.4 Product Risk Assessment

Human Exposure: Occupational
(a) EFSA set the AOEL for ASM as 0.03 mg/kg body weight per day (EFSA,
2014). The maximum application rate of ASM is calculated to be 0.0375 kg/ha.
The estimated acute and longer-term systemic exposures are summarized in
Table G.6.

(b) Longer-term systemic exposure primarily results from exposure to the body
during application.
(c) Wearing workwear that covers the arms and legs reduces the dermal (and total)
exposure significantly. In comparison, the use of gloves and a hood and visor
only slightly decreases exposure according to the model. Note that the Bion ®
product label requires this type of workwear to be worn by operators.
Human Exposure: Dietary
(a) Tables G.7 and G.8 show the average dietary intake values [g kg

and and the United Kingdom.
