This book presents detailed evaluations of the available toxicological and other safety data for 13 pesticides that have the potential to leave residues in food commodities.

Separate monographs are presented for acephate, captan, chlorothalonil, coumaphos, cryomazine, ethion, folpet, hexaconazole, methacrifos, methamidophos, 2-phenylphenol, profenofos, and terbufos.

Conclusions, which are based on a rigorous assessment of all relevant toxicological studies, form the basis for the acceptable daily intakes for humans established by the Joint FAO/WHO Meeting on Pesticide Residues (JMPR).
