Book Description
Many of the pesticides applied to food crops in this country are present in foods and may pose risks to human health. Current regulations are intended to protect the health of the general population by controlling pesticide use. This book explores whether the present regulatory approaches adequately protect infants and children, who may differ from adults in susceptibility and in dietary exposures to pesticide residues. The committee focuses on four major areas: Susceptibility: Are children more susceptible or less susceptible than adults to the effects of dietary exposure to pesticides? Exposure: What foods do infants and children eat, and which pesticides and how much of them are present in those foods? Is the current information on consumption and residues adequate to estimate exposure? Toxicity: Are toxicity tests in laboratory animals adequate to predict toxicity in human infants and children? Do the extent and type of toxicity of some chemicals vary by species and by age? Assessing risk: How is dietary exposure to pesticide residues associated with response? How can laboratory data on lifetime exposures of animals be used to derive meaningful estimates of risk to children? Does risk accumulate more rapidly during the early years of life? This book will be of interest to policymakers, administrators of research in the public and private sectors, toxicologists, pediatricians and other health professionals, and the pesticide industry.

Book Description
" From 1970 to 2007, hundreds of millions of pounds of pesticides were applied annually to U.S. food crops to protect them from pests. To protect consumers, EPA sets standards-known as tolerances-for pesticide residues on foods. FSIS monitors meat, poultry, and processed egg products to ensure they do not violate EPA's tolerances, and FDA monitors other foods, including fruits and vegetables. AMS gathers annual residue data for highly consumed foods, although not for enforcement purposes. GAO was asked to review federal oversight of pesticide residues in food. This report examines (1) what FDA data show with respect to pesticide residue violations in the foods that it regulates; (2) what FSIS data show with respect to pesticide residue violations in the foods that it regulates; and (3) what AMS data show with respect to pesticide residue levels in fruits and vegetables. For each agency, GAO examined limitations, if any, in the agencies' monitoring of foods for pesticide residues. GAO analyzed FDA, FSIS, and AMS pesticide residue data, including their reliability, reviewed agency methods for sampling foods for testing, and interviewed agency officials. "

Guide to develop and strengthen national pesticide residue monitoring programmes

ISBN: 9251356238
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 60
Book Description
Countries in Asia and the Pacific region recognize the need to have a comprehensive framework for pesticide residue management through science-based risk assessment, management and communication. The framework incorporates a range of functions and activities including pesticide registration, Maximum Residue Limit (MRL) setting, approval of a pesticide product label, farmer education, pesticide control-of-use regulation, food traceability, verification of Good Agricultural Practice (GAP), national pesticide residue monitoring programmes, facilitation of trade and market access, traceback investigation and pesticide review. The frameworks tend to be operated as a continuum seeking ongoing improvement in GAP and enhancements to food safety. A sound pesticide residue framework does not rely only on residue monitoring but importantly includes at the very least pesticide registration, chemical control of-use, traceback investigation and a chemical review process. An increasing focus on harmonization of the pesticide risk management framework elements including the setting of MRLs is a key strategy to assist countries in the region. FAO received an official request from the ASEAN Health Cluster 4: Ensuring Food Safety (AHC4) to assist in developing the basis for countries to implement effective pesticide residue monitoring systems which are in line with the overall framework of the ASEAN food safety policy. Noting the broad spectrum of pesticide risk management frameworks present in the ASEAN countries, AHC4 and FAO worked collaboratively to develop this regional guide, which is based on an in-depth situation analysis of the ASEAN countries in terms of their capacities and knowledge levels.The present guide provides practical solutions and management options for countries at different capacity levels to develop or strengthen effective pesticide residue monitoring systems.
