1) Pesticide tolerance for food use - This is the correct answer.
The pesticide tolerance for food use standard established by the EPA specifies the pesticide residue allowed to remain in or on treated food products.
2) Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs) - This is the correct answer.
The EPA conducts risk assessments and issues Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs) for naturally-occurring and man-made contaminants in drinking water.
3) Primary NAAQS set limits to protect public health; secondary NAAQS relate to public welfare - This is the correct answer.
Primary NAAQS set limits to protect public health. Secondary NAAQS relate to public welfare, such as crops, animals, and structures.
4) Minimal Risk Levels (MRLs) - This is the correct answer.
Minimal Risk Levels (MRLs) for noncancer toxic effects estimate the daily human exposures that are likely to be without an appreciable risk of adverse effects over a specific duration of exposure.
