    1969 EVALUATIONS OF SOME PESTICIDE RESIDUES IN FOOD

    THE MONOGRAPHS

    Issued jointly by FAO and WHO

    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
    Group on Pesticide Residues, which met in Rome, 8 - 15 December 1969.

    CHLORDANE

    Explanation

    This pesticide was previously evaluated at the 1967 Joint Meeting
    (FAO/WHO 1968b).* At the 1969 Meeting consideration was confined to
    the clarification of the former recommendations. The conclusions are
    presented in the following monograph addendum.

    Practical residue limit in carrots

    The Meeting noted that it had been pointed out at the Fourth Session
    of the Codex Committee on Pesticide Residues that carrots were not
    covered by a tolerance; also that one country had requested the
    establishment of a practical residue limit for carrots. However the
    Joint Meeting was unable to review the matter since no data had been
    received.

    Tolerance for large and small root crops

    The Meeting took note and accepted the decision of the Fourth Session
    of the Codex Committee on Pesticide Residues to consider the two
    classes of root crops as one, with the exception of carrots referred
    to above. This amendment was therefore recorded In the Summary Table
    at Appendix 1 to the parent report (FAO/WHO, 1970a).*

    'Tomatoes and related garden crops'

    The Meeting confirmed the trelated garden cropet in the earlier
    monograph was intended to apply to "egg plant, peppers and pimentos".
    This was also recorded in Appendix 1 to the parent report (FAO/WHO,
    1970a).*
