Synopsis (short abstract) During the Meeting, the FAO Panel of Expert s was responsible for reviewing residue and analytical aspects of the pesticides under considerati on, including data on their metabolism, fate in the environment, and use patterns, and for estimating th e maximum levels of residues that might occur as a result of use of the pesticides according to good ag ricultural practice. The estimation of MRLs and supervised trials median residue (STMR) values for commodities of animal origin was elaborated. The WHO Core Assessment Group was responsible for reviewing toxicological and related data in order to establish ADIs, and ARfDs, where necessary and possible.

    Report of the 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. The Meeting evaluated 33 pesticides, including 8 new compounds and 3 compounds that were re-evaluated within the periodic review programme of the Codex Committee on Pesticide Residues (CCPR), for toxicity or residues, or both. The Meeting allocated ADIs and ARfDs, estimated more than 300 maximum residue levels and recommended them f or use by CCPR, and estimated STMR and highest residue (HR) levels as a basis for estimating dietary intake. The Meeting also estimated the dietary intakes (both short-term and long-term) of the pesticides reviewed and, on this basis, performed dietary risk assessments in relation to their ADIs or ARfDs. Cases in which ADIs or ARfDs may be exceeded were clearly indicated in order to facilitate the decision-making process of CCPR. The rationale for methodologies for long- and short-term dietary risk assessment are described in detail in the FAO manual on the submission and evaluation of pesticide residue data for the estimation of maximum residue levels in food and feed.

    The Joint Meeting on Pesticide Residues (JMPR) is an expert ad hoc body administered jointly by the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) and the World Health Organization (WHO). Although the JMPR is an independent body that can respond to requests for advice from a variety of sources, its primary function is in the provision of scientific advice to the Codex Committee on Pesticide Residues (CCPR). This advice relates to pesticide residues, including recommendations for Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) and Acceptable Daily Intakes (ADIs).

    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 residues of pesticides in foods. The reports of previous Meetings (see Annex 5) contain information on acceptable daily intakes (ADIs), acute reference doses (ARfDs), MRLs, and the general principles that have been used for evaluating pestici des. The supporting documents (residue and toxicological evaluations) contain detailed monographs on these pesticides and include evaluations of analytical methods.
