This book was released on 1993-02-01 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many of the pesticides applied to food crops in this country are present in foods and may pose risks to human health. Current regulations are intended to protect the health of the general population by controlling pesticide use. This book explores whether the present regulatory approaches adequately protect infants and children, who may differ from adults in susceptibility and in dietary exposures to pesticide residues. The committee focuses on four major areas: Susceptibility: Are children more susceptible or less susceptible than adults to the effects of dietary exposure to pesticides? Exposure: What foods do infants and children eat, and which pesticides and how much of them are present in those foods? Is the current information on consumption and residues adequate to estimate exposure? Toxicity: Are toxicity tests in laboratory animals adequate to predict toxicity in human infants and children? Do the extent and type of toxicity of some chemicals vary by species and by age? Assessing risk: How is dietary exposure to pesticide residues associated with response? How can laboratory data on lifetime exposures of animals be used to derive meaningful estimates of risk to children? Does risk accumulate more rapidly during the early years of life? This book will be of interest to policymakers, administrators of research in the public and private sectors, toxicologists, pediatricians and other health professionals, and the pesticide industry.

Book excerpt: The annual joint meeting of experts from the Food and Agriculture Organisation and the World Health Organisation was held in September 2001. This purpose of this meeting was to: review data analysis methods for estimating the maximum residue levels arising from pesticide use according to good agricultural practices; and review toxicological and related data for estimating acceptable daily intakes (ADIs) of pesticides for human health. This report presents information on ADIs of a number of pesticides, maximum residue levels, and general principles for the evaluation of pesticides. It provides summaries of the toxicological evaluations of pesticide residues in food, together with the recommendations made by the joint meeting.

Book excerpt: The annual Joint Meeting of the FAO Panel of Experts on Pesticide Residues in Food and the Environment and WHO Core Assessment Group on Pesticide Residues was held in Geneva, Switzerland from 20 to 29 September 2005. The Panel reviewed pesticide use patterns (good agricultural practice), data on the chemistry and composition of the pesticides and methods of analysis for pesticide residues. The WHO Core Assessment Group reviewed toxicological and related data, and estimated acceptable daily intakes (ADIs) for humans. This report contains information on ADIs, maximum residue levels and general principles for the evaluation of pesticides.

Book excerpt: The annual 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 was held in Geneva, Switzerland from 16 to 25 September 2009. The Meeting was held in pursuance of recommendations made by previous Meetings and accepted by the governing bodies of FAO and WHO that studies should be undertaken jointly by experts to evaluate possible hazards to humans arising from the occurrence of pesticide residues in foods. This report contains information on ADIs, ARfDs, maximum residue levels, and general principles for the evaluation of pesticides. The recommendations of the Joint Meeting, including further research and information, are proposed for use by Member governments of the FAO and WHO and other interested parties.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (Published by WHO. Available from FAO only by standing order together with Part I - Residues). This volume contains toxicological monographs that were prepared by the 2005 Joint FAO/WHO Meeting on Pesticide Residues (JMPR), which met in Geneva from 20-29 September, 2005. The monographs in this volume summarize the safety data on 15 pesticides that could leave residues in food commodities. These pesticides are acephate, azocyclotin, benalaxyl, carbendazim, chlorpropham, clofentezine, cyhexatin, dimethanamid-P/racemic dimethenamid, ethoxyquin, fenhexamid, imazalil, indoxacarb, novaluron, propamocarb and sulfuryl fluoride. 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 book was released on 2000 with total page 780 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the meeting the FAO Panel of Experts was responsible for reviewing pesticide use patterns (good agricultural practices), data on the chemistry and composition of pesticides and methods of analysis for pesticide residues and for estimating the maximum residue levels that might occur as a a result of the use of pesticides according to good agricultural practices. The WHO Core Assessment Group was responsible for reviewing toxicological and related data and for estimating, where possible, acceptable daily intakes (ADIs) of pesticides for humans. This report contains information on ADIs, maximum residue limits (MRLs) and general principles for the evaluation of pesticides. The supporting documents (on residues and toxicological evaluations) contain detailed monographs on these pesticides and include comments on analytical methods.
