Also available in:
No results found.The COVID-19 outbreak has highlighted the devastating impact of transboundary diseases and the importance of preparedness, surveillance, and implementation of preventive measures in order to protect human health. It has also demonstrated the importance of coordinated international action in the management of transboundary diseases. Such coordinated international action is also fundamental to protect the world’s forests from forest invasive species (transboundary insect pests, pathogens, vertebrates, plants). Professor Mike Wingfield opens the webinar introducing a broad topic on pandemics. He presents an interesting comparison among human pandemic and pests outbreaks, highlighting similarities and - most importantly - lessons learned. -

Joint FAO/WHO Meeting on Pesticide Residues Evaluations Part I - Residues
2019Also available in:
No results found.The annual 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 was held in Berlin, Germany, from 18 to 27 September 2018. The FAO Panel of Experts had met in preparatory sessions from 13 to 17 September 2018. 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 (use of good agricultural practices), data on the chemistry and composition of the pesticides and methods of analysis for pesticide residues and for estimating the maximum residue levels that might occur as a result of the use of the pesticides according to good agricultural use practices. The WHO Core Assessment Group was responsible for reviewing toxicological and related data and for estimating, where possible and appropriate, acceptable daily intakes (ADIs) and acute reference doses (ARfDs) of the pesticides for humans. This report contains information on ADIs, ARfDs, maximum residue levels, 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. -
