Their work included estimating maximum residue levels (MRLs), supervised trials median residue (STMR) and highest residue (HR) values for various commodities, and conducting dietary risk assessments.The WHO Core Assessment Group reviewed toxicological data to establish acceptable daily intakes (ADIs) and acute reference doses (ARfDs). The meeting also addressed general issues in pesticide risk assessment and residue evaluation, reinforcing JMPR’s critical role in supporting food safety, sustainable agriculture, and international trade.
