*2.4. EDI Levels of Residues of Organophosphorus Insecticides Ingested Through Fish in Taiwanese Adults*

The average EDI levels extrapolated from the average chlorpyrifos levels in Taiwanese women and men were 0.002 and 0.003 μg/kg body weight/day, respectively (Table 4). The EDI levels were noted to be substantially lower than the JECFA-recommended chlorpyrifos ADI level of 0.01 mg/kg (Table 4) [4,15]. Moreover, the EDI levels expressed as the percentages of the ADIs were 0.03% and 0.02% in men and women, respectively. Taken together, fish consumption led to a low risk assessment for chlorpyrifos, with EDIs that are <0.1% of the ADIs in men as well as women.
