In the late 1970s new legislation was established in many industrialized countries in order to protect the environment. This has led to the definition of a new branch of science: ecotoxicology. The development of predictive approaches for the hazard assessment of chemical substances has given increased relevance to exposure evaluation. This paper discusses the problems related to the environmental distribution and fate of chemicals and their potential use in the assessment and prediction of exposure of the general population, through air, drinking water and food. Collaboration between toxicologists and ecotoxicologists is urged to improve our capability to manage chemicals.

Brazil is one of the world’s largest corn producers and is a leader in exportation. Due to intense globalization, corn may be commercialized worldwide and the issue concerning the safety of corn-based products has become a topic of widespread international interest. Dietary exposure evaluation is a relevant criterion for mycotoxin risk assessment. Thus, human exposure to fumonisins were assessed for corn grain and its derivatives (endosperm, cornmeal, and grits; n = 320) sampled from one of the large-scale corn processing plants in Brazil. The total probable daily intake (PDI) for fumonisins in Brazil was 96.9 ng kg−1 body weight day−1, which corresponds to 5% of the provisional maximum tolerable daily intake (PMTDI) of 2000 ng kg−1 b.w. day−1 for fumonisins. In countries that import Brazilian corn, the total PDI is lower in European countries (from 35.7 to 177 ng kg−1 b.w. day−1) and higher in Angola (1553 ng kg−1 b.w. day−1). Taking into account that dietary exposure in populations in Brazil and importing countries was low, the corn-based products were safe for human consumption regarding fumonisins, even for regions with high corn consumption.
