title: Committee on Residues and Related Topics. Pesticides and other chemical contaminants.
abstract: One new topic needs to be added to this refereeship this year. This topic is Multiresidue Methods for Pesticides in Foods by GC/MS and LC/MS/MS. Last year the Synthetic Pyrethroids method was declared Final Action with comments. The comments were "Change applicability statement to: This method is applicable for the determination of 8 synthetic pyrethroid pesticides in wheat, oranges, and tomatoes at 0.10-2.0 mg/kg." The topic Determination of Residues of Triazines and Their Chloro-Metabolites in Raw Agricultural Commodities has now been filled. The topic Dioxins by GC/MS remains vacant.
