That residues of pesticide and other contaminants in the total
environ ment are of concern to everyone everywhere is attested by
the reception accorded previous volumes of "Residue Reviews" and by
the gratifying enthusiasm, sincerity, and efforts shown by all the
individuals from whom manuscripts have been solicited. Despite much
propaganda to the con trary, there can never be any serious
question that pest-control chemicals and food-additive chemicals
are essential to adequate food production, manufacture, marketing,
and storage, yet without continuing surveillance and intelligent
control some of those that persist in our foodstuffs could at times
conceivably endanger the public health. Ensuring safety-in-use of
these many chemicals is a dynamic challenge, for established ones
are continually being displaced by newly developed ones more
acceptable to food technologists, pharmacologists, toxicologists,
and changing pest control requirements in progressive
food-producing economies. These matters are of gennine concern to
increasing numbers of gov ernmental agencies and legislative bodies
around the world, for some of these chemicals have resulted in a
few mishaps from improper use. Ade quate safety-in-use evaluations
of any of these chemicals persisting into our foodstuffs are not
simple matters, and they incorporate the considered judgments of
many individuals highly trained in a variety of complex biological,
chemical, food technological, medical, pharmacological, and
toxicological disciplines."
