Specific effects on the reproductive function including fertility relevant for cumulative risk assessment of pesticide residues.

ABSTRACT: According to the 'EFSA-SANTE Action Plan on Cumulative Risk Assessment for pesticides residues', EFSA, with the support of a working group, undertook the identification of specific effects on male and female reproductive function, including fertility, that are considered relevant for grouping pesticide residues and for assessing retrospectively the cumulative risk (CRA) deriving from consumers' dietary exposure. In this first report, two specific effects leading to two correspondent cumulative assessment groups (CAGs) were identified for male reproduction, namely, (1) altered mating performance and (2) decreased fertility. Four distinct CAGs were proposed for grouping chemicals affecting female reproduction: (1) altered mating performance, (2) decreased fertility, (3) altered gestation and
