The monographs in this volume summarize the safety data on 11 pesticides
that could leave residues in food commodities. These pesticides are
aminopyralid, atrazine, azinphos methyl, lamba-cyhalothrin,
difenoconazole, dimethomorph, flusilazole, procymidone, profenofos,
pyrimethanil and zoxamide. 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.
