| Abstract |
These monographs were prepared by an WHO Expert Group and an FAO Panel of Experts subsequent to a Joint Meeting on Pesticide Residues (JMPR) in Geneva (Switzerland), 21-30 Sep. 1987. They summarise safety data for the following pesticide residues: acephate, benalaxyl, bitertanol, chlordimeform, chinomethionat, chlorothalonil, cyfluthrin, dimethoate, ethoprophos, fenamiphos, permethrin, propiconazole. Data include results of toxicological studies, with special studies on carcinogenicity, reproduction, mutagenicity and teratogenicity. Results of observations in humans are also given where available. A toxicological evaluation gives levels causing no toxicological effect in experimental animals, together with a WHO estimate of an acceptable daily intake for man. An annex lists maximum daily intakes and residue limits for a range of pesticides. |
