Publisher's Remarks:
The toxicological monographs and monograph addenda contained in this volume were prepared by a WHO Core Assessment Group that met with the FAO Panel of Experts on Pesticide Residues in Food and the Environment in a Joint Meeting on Pesticide Residues (JMPR) in Rome, Italy, on 3-12 October 2006. The Meeting evaluated 30 pesticides-including five new compounds and five 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 original schedule of compounds to be evaluated was amended for cypermethrins and triadimefon/triadimenol. For cypermethrins, only a toxicological evaluation was carried out as no residue data were received. The evaluation of triadimefon/triadimenol was postponed to 2007 as the peer review process could not be completed in time. Reports and other documents resulting from previous Joint Meetings on Pesticide Residues are listed in Annex 1. The report of the Joint Meeting has been published by the FAO as "FAO Plant Production and Protection Paper 187." That report contains comments on the compounds considered acceptable daily intakes established by the WHO Core Assessment Group, and maximum residue limits established by the FAO Panel of Experts. Monographs on residues prepared by the FAO Panel of Experts are published as a companion volume as "Evaluations 2006, Part I, Residues" in the "FAO Plant Production and Protection Paper" series.
