CAG: cumulative assessment group; LOQ: limit of quantification; MRL: maximum residu limit; Nr: number; neurochemical: acute neurochemical effect, i.e. inhibition of acetylcholinesterase activity; RD: residue definition
1 Concentrations in wine and olive oil are included in those for wine grapes and olives for oil production, respectively
2 MRL is only reported when at least one sample had a concentration at or above the LOQ
3 MRL is the highest MRL valid in 2016-2018
