    A 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 (JMPR) was held in Geneva, Switzerland, from 9 to 13 May 2016. The three pesticides evaluated at the meeting were placed on the agenda by the JMPR Secretariat following the recommendation of an electronic task force of the WHO Core Assessment Group that they be re-evaluated due to public health concerns identified by the International Agency for Re search on Cancer (IARC) and the availability of a significant number of new studies. During the meeting, the WHO Core Assessment Group was responsible for reviewing epidemiological, toxicological and related data in order to establish acceptable daily intakes (ADIs) and acute reference doses (ARfDs) of the pesticides for humans, where necessary. As no residue data were requested, the FAO Expert was responsible for estimating the dietary exposures (both short-term and long-term) to the pesticide s reveiewed and, on this basis, performed dietary risk assessments in relation to their ADIs or ARfDs. This report contains information on ADIs, ARfDs 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 respective agencies and other interested parties.
