PESTICIDE RESIDUES IN FOOD - 1982 Sponsored jointly by FAO and WHO EVALUATIONS 1982 Data and recommendations of the joint meeting of the FAO Panel of Experts on Pesticide Residues in Food and the Environment and the WHO Expert Group on Pesticide Residues Rome, 23 November - 2 December 1982 Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations Rome 1983 BROMOPHOSExplanation Bromophos was evaluated in 1972, 1975 and 1977 (FAO/WHO 1973, 1976, 1978)1/. Although there were no specific requirements for further work due in 1982, additional information became available on residues in vegetables, field crops, pome fruit, stone fruit and berries. These data are reviewed for confirming or adjusting previous recommendations or for making new recommendations on additional commodities. RESIDUES IN FOOD AND THEIR EVALUATION RESIDUES RESULTING FROM SUPERVISED TRIALS In Crops Data were received on the results of supervised trials on a wide variety of crops carried out by the manufacturer in numerous field locations throughout the Federal Republic of Germany (Celamerck 1982). This information is summarized in Tables 1-8. Information on residues in oats, barley, wheat, oilseed rape and sugarbeets is summarized in Table 1. Maximum residues at 7 days preharvest were 1.09 mg/kg for barley, 0.77 mg/kg for oats, 0.95 mg/kg for wheat, <0.02 mg/kg (at 70 days) for oilseed rape, <0.02 mg/kg for sugarbeet roots and 0.16 mg/kg for sugarbeet leaves. The data on oats, barley and wheat show that residues from field treatment of these crops would not exceed the existing recommended level for new grain, which is based on the levels found in storage uses of bromophos on grains. Both sugarbeet roots and leaves can be included in the existing recommendation of 0.5 mg/kg. No change in recommendation is indicated by the data for oilseed rape. 1/ See Annex 2 for FAO and WHO documentation. Table 1.

The data on cherries, plums and peaches, shown in Table 3, reveal maximum levels of 0.63 mg/kg on cherries, 2.90 mg/kg on plums and 0.52 mg/kg on peaches at preharvest intervals of 7, 14 and 7 days, respectively. These data support an increase in recommended levels for cherries and peaches from 0.5 to 1 mg/kg and for plums from 1 to 5 mg/kg. Additional data on red currants and new data on raspberries are presented in Table 4. The maximum level of 0.7 mg/kg at 7 days preharvest for red currants supports the existing recommendation of 1 mg/kg. A maximum level of 0.12 mg/kg at 7 days preharvest for raspberries show that the existing level of 1 mg/kg for blackberries would not be exceeded and that a new combined recommendation can be accommodated. The additional data on residues on lettuce and spinach, in Table 5, indicate that maximum levels of 1.45 mg/kg for lettuce and 1.89 mg/kg for spinach could be reached at 7 days preharvest. These figures indicate a need to increase the recommended maximum residue level for both commodities to 2 mg/kg. Additional residue data on cabbage, savoy cabbage, cauliflower, kohlrabi and onions and new data on kale are summarized in Table 6. Maximum residues of <0.03 mg/kg on cabbage (at 41-48 days preharvest), 0.03 mg/kg on savoy cabbage at 7 days preharvest, and 0.09 mg/kg on cauliflower at 7 days preharvest indicate that the previously recommended levels of 0.1, 1 and 0.1 mg/kg respectively would not be exceeded. The additional data on kohlrabi show a maximum level of 0.02 mg/kg at 44 days preharvest, which supports the previous recommendation limit of 0.1 mg/kg. Additional data on residues on onions at 57 days preharvest reached a level of 0.22 mg/kg, requiring an increase to 0.5 mg/kg from the existing recommended limit of 0.1 mg/kg. New data on kale show that a maximum residue of 0.22 mg/kg was possible at 21 days preharvest arising from 3 applications of 2% dust. Additional data on residues on carrots and radishes are shown in Table 7, where maximum values of 1.40 mg/kg for carrots and 1.39 mg/kg for radishes are found at 42 and 21 days preharvest respectively. These data require that the recommended level for carrots be increased from 1 to 2 mg/kg while that for radishes (2 mg/kg) can remain unchanged. Table 8 summarizes additional residue data on cucumbers, bush beans and peas and new data on tomatoes. At 7 days preharvest, the maximum level found were 0.11 mg/kg on cucumbers, 0.04 mg/kg on beans and <0.01 on peas (without pods). For peas (whole hulls) the maximum at 8 days was 0.12 mg/kg. From an examination of all of the tabular data on cucumbers, beans and peas it appears unlikely that the existing recommendation of 0.1 mg/kg would be exceeded for these commodities. The residue data on tomatoes show that a maximum level of 0.43 mg/kg was reached on one trial at 4 days preharvest, therefore a new recommendation for tomatoes of 0.05 mg/kg can be proposed. From Tables 1 and 8, residue data on oat, barley and pea straws are available, which reach maximum levels of 0.08 mg/kg on oat straw, 0.06 mg/kg on barley straw and 0.44 mg/kg on pea straw, supporting a new recommendation for a maximum residue level of 0.5 mg/kg for straw (barley, oat, pea). NATIONAL MAXIMUM RESIDUE LIMITS Information on the current national tolerances in effect in the Federal Republic of Germany was available (Celamerck 1982) and is presented in Table 9. Table 9. Maximum Residue Limits for Bromophos in the Federal Republic of Germany MRL (mg/kg) Commodities 2.0 Leafy and other stem vegetables (except brassicas), pome fruit, plums, root vegetables, citrus fruits. 1.0 Berries, cereals (except maize), brassica, other stone fruit. 0.5 Other vegetables 0.2 Maize, oilseed rape, turnip rape 0.1 Other edible crops. APPRAISAL A substantial amount of new information was made available to the Meeting on residues resulting from supervised trials in the Federal Republic of Germany on field crops, apples, stone fruit, berries and vegetables. Evaluation of these data resulted in the need to increase the recommended limits for apples, plums, carrots, lettuce, spinach, cherries, peaches and onions; supported existing limits for sugarbeet roots, wheat, rape seed and rape seed oil, red currants, cabbage, savoy cabbage, cauliflower, kohlrabi, radish, cucumbers, beans and peas; and resulted in the addition of new recommendations for barley and oats (included in the cereal grains group), raspberries, kale, sugarbeet leaves, tomatoes and straw (barley, oat, pea). Since the previous recommended limit for raw grain (now changed to cereal grains) was based on the higher residue levels that accrue from storage uses of bromophos, the contribution from field applications to barley, oats and pea straw, combined with the new recommendations for sugar-beat roots and leaves and the existing limits for wheat bran and apples, reveals an increasing use pattern affecting animal feed, forage and fodder. The rather scanty data on which existing meat (of sheep) and milk limits are based should be supported or supplemented with new information on meat (except sheep) and milk residues likely to arise from feed sources. There is also an indication from national tolerances reported to the Meeting that bromophos is used on citrus in some locations, although no data are available from which to make recommendations. The Meeting agreed with the need to increase the recommendation for milk from 0.02 to 0.05 mg/kg (at or about the limit of determination) in order to reflect analytical limitations more accurately. RECOMMENDATIONS The following recommended maximum residue limits are in addition to or replace those previously recommended. The preharvest intervals on which these recommendations are based are discussed in the addendum. The limits refer to bromophos only. Commodity Limit (mg/kg) Cereal grains 10 Apples 5 (increased from 2) Plums 5 (increased from 1) Carrots, spinach 2 (increased from 1) Lettuce 2 (increased from 0.5) Cherries, peaches 1 (increased from 0.5) Raspberries 1 Onions 0.5 (increased from 0.1) Sugarbeet leaves 0.5 Kale 0.5 Tomatoes 0.5 Straw (barley, oats, pea) 0.5 Milk 0.05* * at or about the limit of determination FURTHER WORK OR INFORMATION Desirable 1. Supervised trial data on residues in meat and milk arising from the use of treated feed, forages and fodder. 2. Information from supervised trials on residues in citrus arising from approved uses.
