Abstract

At a meeting of a WHO Expert Committee on Pesticide Residues held jointly with the FAO Panel of Experts on the Use of Pesticides in Agriculture in 1961 (1) recommendation was made that studies be undertaken to evaluate possible hazards to man arising from the occurrence of residues of pesticides in foods. Following this meeting, which was endorsed by an intergovernmental meeting in Rome in 1962, Joint Meetings of the WHO Expert Committee on Pesticide Residues and the FAO Committee on Pesticides in Agriculture were held in 1963 (2) and 1965 (3). These meetings were concerned with establishing acceptable daily intakes for man (ADIs). The reports from these meetings and the supporting documents were then considered by the FAO Working Party on Pesticide Residues with a view to recommending maximum residue limits (tolerances) and appropriate methods of analysis.
