PYRETHRINS
This pesticide was evaluated by the 1966 Joint Meeting of the FAO
Working Party and the WHO Expert Committee on Pesticide Residues
(FAO/WHO, 1967). The previous publication contained an error under
"Further work" regarding sensitivity of the required analytical
methods. Since no additional data has become available on this
compound, only the recommendations for tolerances and the further work
required are repeated below.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR TOLERANCES
Temporary tolerances until 31 December 1972
Cereals 3 ppm
Cereal products, fresh fruit,
dried fruit, oil seeds 1 ppm
FURTHER WORK
Further work required before 30 June 1972
Further work is needed on methods of measuring and detecting residues
down to 0.1 ppm of pyrethrins.
