Joint Meeting on Pesticide Residues

In September 1999, the United Nations World Health Organization (WHO) and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) Joint Meeting on Pesticide Residues (JMPR) established an acute reference dose (RfD) of 0.1 mg/kg bw and a chronic RfD, or acceptable daily intake (ADI), of 0.01 mg/kg bw/day. (See FAO/WHO Report 153, Pesticide Residues in Pood, Section 4.7, Chlorpyrifos, 1999.)...

The 2000 Report of the Report of the Joint Meeting on Pesticide Residues recommended that the residue portion for the second and subsequent units be changed from the STMR to the HR. 

The acceptable daily intakes set by the Joint Meeting on Pesticide Residues (JMPR) for cypermethrin, deltamethrin, and permethrin are 0-0.01 mg kg body weight, with acute oral reference doses for deltamethrin or permethrin of 0.05 mg kg bw. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health maximum allowable concentration (MAC) for pyrethrins at an 8 h time-weighted average is 5 mg m ... 

The assessment of these compounds and the establishment of an ADI (acceptable daily intake), to be explained later, or MRL (maximum residue limit) are carried out by an international committee of the WHO (Joint Meeting on Pesticide Residues). The World Health Organization publishes toxicological and ecotoxicological evaluations of potential environmental toxicants in the International Proceedings on Chemical Safety in the series "Environmental Health Criteria."... 

FAO and WHO followed in 1961 and 1963". Since 1965 they have been held annually. Each session is formally entitled a Joint Meeting of the FAO Panel of Experts on Pesticide Residues and the Environment with the WHO Expert Committee (or Panel) on Pesticide Residues but they are more usually referred to as FAO/WHO Joint Meetings on Pesticide Residues (JMPR).
