Agricultural Chemical Residues as a Source of Risk

Review of Agricultural Economics, 2000, vol. 22, issue 2, 313-325

Abstract: Exposures to individual agricultural chemical residues are a relatively small source of risk across selected environmental and human health end points; nutrients in water, of which agricultural uses are only one source, may be an exception. This may explain recent policy decisions to tighten regulation of nutrients in water resources. However, uncertainty about nutrient damages hinders design of an efficient policy to deal with nutrients.
