Farmworker (applicator + harvester)c((dt5) + (dtp))
Consumer (exposure + groundwater effects)(c(s + p)/2sy) + (L)
Ecology (fish, birds, bees, other beneficial insects)(fr) + (d(s + p)/23) + (zp3) + (bp5)
Total EIQ = farmworker + consumer + ecology
{[c(dt5) + (dtp)] + [(c(s + p)/2sy) + (L)+[(fr)+(d(s + p)/23) + (zp3) + (bp5)]}/3 (1)
Field use EIQ = EIQ % active ingredient rate/ha (2)
