    1967 EVALUATIONS OF SOME PESTICIDE RESIDUES IN FOOD

    THE MONOGRAPHS

    The content of this document is the result of the deliberations of the
    Joint Meeting of the FAO Working Party of Experts and the WHO Expert
    Committee on Pesticide Residues, which met in Rome, 4 - 11 December,
    1967. (FAO/WHO, 1968)

    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.
