Pesticides are now accepted as an integral part of modern
agricultural production. This book provides analysis of the steps
taken by national and international bodies working towards a
cohesive global strategy for evaluating the safety of residues in
food that result from approved pesticide uses. Also described is
the role of the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), World
Health Organization (WHO) and Codex Alimentarius in developing
standards that protect the health of the consumers and ensure fair
practices in the food trade. It goes on to look at the promotion of
good agricultural practice in the use of pesticides and the need
for control in their practical use. These include sampling, testing
the compliance of marketed products against legal limits and
verifying the effectiveness of the safety-based regulatory
measures. This is a specialist book for those looking to go into
the field of international food safety, for students and lecturers
studying the topic, for policy makers working on public health and
agricultural issues, and personnel responsible for taking samples
and performing the analysis of pesticide formulations and residues.
