Book excerpt: An Extra Joint Meeting of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) Panel of Experts on Pesticide Residues in Food and the Environment and the World Health Organization (WHO) Core Assessment Group on Pesticide Residues (JMPR) was held virtually over two sessions from 17 to 21 May and 7 to 11 June 2021. The Meeting evaluated 29 pesticides for residues with regard to additional uses. The Meeting estimated maximum residue levels and recommended them for use by CCPR and estimated supervised trials median residue (STMR) and highest residue (HR) levels as a basis for estimating dietary exposures.
