Synopsis (short abstract) The 2019 JMPR annual meeting was held at WHO HQ in Geneva, Switzerland, from 17 to 26 September 2019, with FAO pre-meeting on 12 -16 September. During the meeting, the FAO Panel evaluated residue data and analytical aspects of the pesticides under consideration, including their metabolism, fate in the environment and use patterns, and estimated the maximum levels of residues in food. The WHO Group reviewed toxicological and related data and established acceptable daily intakes (ADis) and acute reference doses (ARIDs). The Meeting evaluated 37 pesticides, including 8 new compounds and 3 compounds that were re-evaluated, 19 compounds for additional uses and 7 compounds for response to CCPR specific issues. The Meeting established AD Is and ARfDs and estimated more than 300 maximum residue levels to be adopted by CCPR. The Meeting also considered general principles and new methodologies for risk assessment.

    A Joint Meeting of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) Panel of experts on Pesticide Residues in Food and the Environment and the World Health Organization (WHO) Core assessment Group on Pesticide Residues (JMPR) was held in Geneva, Switzerland, from 17 to 26 September 2019. The FAO Panel Members met in preparatory sessions from 12 to 16 September. The Meeting evaluated 30 pesticides, including eight new compounds and three compounds that were re-evaluated for toxicity or residues, or both, within the periodic review programme of the Codex Committee on Pesticide Residues (CCPR). The Meeting established ADIs and ARfDs, estimated maximum residue levels and recommended them for use by CCPR, and estimated supervised trials median residue (STMR) and highest residue (HR) levels as a basis for estimating dietary exposures.
