The pesticides diazinon, glyphosate and malathion were evaluated at the Joint Meeting of the FAO Panel of Experts on Pesticide Residues in Food and the Environment and the WHO Core Assessment Group on Pesticide Residues (JMPR) held in May 2016. This followed a recommendation that they be re-evaluated due to public health concerns identified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) and the availability of a number of new studies. The meeting reviewed epidemiological, toxicological and related data in order to establish acceptable daily intakes (ADIs) and acute reference doses (ARfDs) of the pesticides for humans. It also estimated dietary exposures (both short- and long-term) to the pesticides reviewed and performed related dietary risk assessments.

(Published by WHO. Available from FAO only by standing order together with Part I - Residues). This volume contains toxicological monographs that were prepared by the 2005 Joint FAO/WHO Meeting on Pesticide Residues (JMPR), which met in Geneva from 20-29 September, 2005. The monographs in this volume summarize the safety data on 15 pesticides that could leave residues in food commodities. These pesticides are acephate, azocyclotin, benalaxyl, carbendazim, chlorpropham, clofentezine, cyhexatin, dimethanamid-P/racemic dimethenamid, ethoxyquin, fenhexamid, imazalil, indoxacarb, novaluron, propamocarb and sulfuryl fluoride. The data summarized in the toxicological monographs served as the basis for the acceptable daily intakes and acute reference doses that were established by the Meeting.

During the meeting the FAO Panel of Experts was responsible for reviewing pesticide use patterns (good agricultural practices), data on the chemistry and composition of pesticides and methods of analysis for pesticide residues and for estimating the maximum residue levels that might occur as a a result of the use of pesticides according to good agricultural practices. The WHO Core Assessment Group was responsible for reviewing toxicological and related data and for estimating, where possible, acceptable daily intakes (ADIs) of pesticides for humans. This report contains information on ADIs, maximum residue limits (MRLs) and general principles for the evaluation of pesticides. The supporting documents (on residues and toxicological evaluations) contain detailed monographs on these pesticides and include comments on analytical methods.
