Pesticide residues in food - 2017: toxicological evaluations
Joint Meeting of the FAO Panel of Experts on Pesticide Residues in Food and the Environment and the WHO Core Assessment Group on Pesticide Residues, Geneva, Switzerland, 12–21 September 2017
Overview
This volume contains toxicological monographs that were prepared by the 2017 Joint FAO/WHO Meeting on Pesticide Residues (JMPR), which met in Geneva on 12–21 September 2017.
The monographs in this volume summarize the safety data on 13 pesticides that could leave residues in food commodities. These pesticides are bicyclopyrone, chlormequat, cyclaniliprole, fenazaqun, fenpyrazamine, fenpyroximate, fosetylaluminium, isoprothiolane, natamycin, oxamyl, propylene oxide, thiophanate-methyl and trifl umezopyrim. The data summarized in the toxicological monographs served as the basis for the acceptable daily intakes and acute reference doses that were established by the Meeting.
This volume and previous volumes of JMPR toxicological evaluations, many of which were published in the FAO Plant Production and Protection Paper series, contain information that is useful to companies that produce pesticides, government regulatory officers, industrial testing laboratories, toxicological laboratories and universities.
