The annual Joint Meeting of the FAO Panel of Experts on Pesticide Residues
in Food and the Environment and the WHO Toxicological Core Assessment
Group on Pesticide Residues (JMPR) was held in Geneva, Switzerland, from
20 to 29 September 2000. 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. 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 the pesticides, and
methods of analysis for pesticide residues as well as for estimating the
maximum residue levels that might occur as a result of the use of
pesticides according to good agricultural practices. The WHO Toxicological
Core Assessment Group was responsible for reviewing toxicological and
related data and for estimating, where possible, acceptable daily intakes
(ADIs) of the pesticides for humans. This report contains information on
ADIs, maximum residue levels 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. The recommendations of the joint meeting,
including further research and information, are proposed for use by Member
Governments of the respective agencies and other interested parties.
