title: Safety evaluation of chemicals in food: toxicological data profiles for pesticides. 1. Carbamate and organophosphorus insecticides used in agriculture and public health.
abstract: The sources of the scientific information used over the past several years by the Joint FAO/WHO Meetings on Pesticide Residues in carrying out toxicological evaluations are classified systematically according to compound and subject for the first time in this paper. It is hoped that those engaged in the toxicological assessment of pesticide chemicals, for the purpose of standardizing pesticide tolerances or for developing criteria of acceptability, will profit from this classification.
