Risk Characterization
Back to Assessing Human Health Risk
The California Department of Pesticide Regulation (DPR) conducts risk assessment to evaluate the toxicity of a pesticide and the likelihood that the use of that pesticide will result in adverse health effects in people. Risk assessments are prepared in the form of a risk characterization document (RCD).
- Completed risk characterization documents (PDF, 51 kb) (June 2008) This list includes all RCDs completed by DPR. Older RCDs are not online, although printed copies are available. Link to online RCDs below.
