The monographs in this volume summarize the safety data on eight
pesticides that could leave residues in food commodities. These
pesticides are bifenthrin, cadusafos, chlorothalonil,
chlorpyrifos-methyl, cycloxydim, fluopicolide, metaflumizone and
spirodiclofen. The data summarized in the toxicological monographs
served as the basis for the acceptable daily intakes and acute reference
doses that were established by the Meeting.
This volume and previous volumes of JMPR toxicological evaluations, many
of which were published in the FAO Plant Production and Protection
Paper series, contain information that is useful to companies that
produce pesticides, government regulatory officers, industrial testing
laboratories, toxicological laboratories and universities.
