The method is applicable to the quantitative deter- mination of organochlorine (tetradifon, dicofol, chlorfenson, chlorobenzilate), organophosphorus (fenitrothion, azinphos-ethyl) and carbamate (pirimicarb) pesticides in animal tissues. The extracted residues are cleaned up by gel- permeation chromatography. A further fractionation on silica Sep-Pack car- tridges is included in the procedure. A gas chromatographic method with electron-capture detection for the analysis of the same pesticides was carried out and the results in the two cases compared. Lower detection and quantitation limits and similar recoveries of pesticides from spiked pig liver and brain samples were obtained by the LC method.

The overall objectives of the IPCS are to establish the scientific basis for assessment of the risk to human health and the environment from exposure to chemicals, through international peer review processes, as a prerequisite for the promotion of chemical safety, and to provide technical assistance in strengthening national capacities for the sound management of chemicals. This publication was developed in the IOMC context. The contents do not necessarily reflect the views or stated policies of individual IOMC Participating Organizations. The Inter-Organization Programme for the Sound Management of Chemicals (IOMC) was established in 1995 following recommendations made by the 1992 UN Conference on Environment and Development to strengthen cooperation and increase international coordination in the field of chemical safety. The Participating Organizations are: FAO, ILO, UNDP, UNEP, UNIDO, UNITAR, WHO, World Bank and OECD. The purpose of the IOMC is to promote coordination of the policies and activities pursued by the Participating Organizations, jointly or separately, to achieve the sound management of chemicals in relation to human health and the environment.

The standard will replace the current MRL Standard (GB 2763-2014) and will be implemented on June 18, 2017. This report provides an unofficial translation of the standard. Editors’ Note: The asterisk appearing in the MRL column means that the limit is a temporary MRL. A temporary MRL is usually set under the following four conditions: 1. The dietary risk assessment data is incomplete; 2. The Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) is temporary (ADI is used as the basis for MRL setting); 3. There is no surveillance or analysis method for the MRL that complies with the standard requirements; 4. In emergency situations, the pesticide is approved to be used on un-registered crops.

  • The 2018 European Union Report on Pesticide Residues in Food
    SCIENTIFIC REPORT ADOPTED: 24 February 2020 doi: 10.2903/j.efsa.2020.6057 The 2018 European Union report on pesticide residues in food European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), Paula Medina-Pastor and Giuseppe Triacchini Abstract Under EU legislation (Article 32, Regulation (EC) No 396/2005), EFSA provides an annual report which analyses pesticide residue levels in foods on the European market. The analysis is based on data from the official national control activities carried out by EU Member States, Iceland and Norway and includes a subset of data from the EU-coordinated control programme which uses a randomised sampling strategy. For 2018, 95.5% of the overall 91,015 samples analysed fell below the maximum residue level (MRL), 4.5% exceeded this level, of which 2.7% were non-compliant, i.e. samples exceeding the MRL after taking into account the measurement uncertainty. For the subset of 11,679 samples analysed as part of the EU-coordinated control programme, 1.4% exceeded the MRL and 0.9% were non-compliant. Table grapes and sweet peppers/bell peppers were among the food products that most frequently exceeded the MRLs. To assess acute and chronic risk to consumer health, dietary exposure to pesticide residues was estimated and compared with health-based guidance values. The findings suggest that the assessed levels for the food commodities analysed are unlikely to pose concern for consumer health. However, a number of recommendations are proposed to increase the efficiency of European control systems (e.g. optimising traceability), thereby continuing to ensure a high level of consumer protection.

  • The APPPC Sub-Regional Training Workshop for the Dnas on the Rotterdam Convention Focusing On
    REPORT APPPC SUB-REGIONAL TRAINING WORKSHOP FOR THE DESIGNATED NATIONAL AUTHORITIES ON THE ROTTERDAM CONVENTION FOCUSING ON INCREASING NOTIFICATIONS 13-17 MARCH 2017, SURABAYA, INDONESIA Executive Summary The APPPC Sub-regional Training Workshop for the DNAs on the Rotterdam Convention Focusing on Increasing Notifications was held from 13-17 March, 2017 in Surabaya, Indonesia and was attended by 33 participants from 9 countries. The main purpose of the workshop was to improve countries capacity in the implementation of the Convention, with the specific objective of strengthening DNAs in preparing notifications of FRA and SHPF, and also to increase the number of submission and improve the completeness of the information provided. The workshop provided training on the key elements of the Rotterdam Convention with special emphasis in strengthening and updating their knowledge on how to meet the obligation in submitting notification of FRA and SHPF. The status of import responses of the Annex III chemicals for each country was also discussed, and the participants were accordingly informed on the need to take action on pending responses. Participants became more knowledgeable on the provisions of the Rotterdam Convention and the latest status of its implementation through paper presentations during the workshop. During the exercise in the breakout groups, participants were also exposed to various forms and how to complete them in order to familiarize and facilitate them in making submission. Participants took part actively in the discussion during breakout and plenary sessions, and they exchanged knowledge, experiences and clarified issues and pointed to areas that need special attention. Among the issues discussed at length were on the need for an improved coordination and communication channel between DNAs and other relevant stakeholders at national level, so that all the requirements in meeting various obligations under the Convention are effectively decided.
