ETHYLENE DIBROMIDE
This pesticide has been previously evaluated (FAO/WHO, 1965, 1968).
However, no recommendations for acceptable daily intake or tolerances
were made. Since that time additional studies have raised further
problems which are outlined in the monograph addendum on carbon

Further work or information
Required (before acceptable daily intakes, tolerances or negligible
residue levels can be established).
Information on the level of residues that may persist in the unchanged
form after processing treated food products.
