PESTICIDE RESIDUES IN FOOD - 1979
Sponsored jointly by FAO and WHO
EVALUATIONS 1979
Joint meeting of the
FAO Panel of Experts on Pesticide Residues
in Food and the Environment
and the
WHO Expert Group on Pesticide Residues
Geneva, 3-12 December 1979
ANNEX I
ACCEPTABLE DAILY INTAKES, RESIDUE LIMITS AND GUIDELINE LEVELS
RECOMMENDED AT THE 1979 MEETING
These figures are additional to, or amend, those recorded in annexes
of the reports of earlier meetings. Limits recommended at meetings
from 1965 - 1977 inclusive are summarized in document FAO/WHO 1978c.
This table includes maximum acceptable daily intakes (ADIs), maximum
residue limits (MRLs), extraneous residue limits (ERLs) and guideline
levels (GLs). These terms are defined in annex 3 of the report of the
1975 meeting. Some ADIs and MRLs are temporary: in these cases the
year in which further data are required is specified in parenthesis
below the ADI. ERLs are identified by the symbol (E) after the limit.
Part I lists ADIs, MRLs and ERLs. Part II lists GLs.
New, as distinct from amended, recommendations are identified by the
symbol * before the commodity or before the ADI. Residue levels at or
about the limit of determination are followed by the symbol **.
Certain corrections of previous publications are included.
