That residues of pesticide and other "foreign" chemicals in
foodstuffs are of concern to everyone everywhere is amply attested
by the reception accorded previous volumes of "Residue Reviews" and
by the gratifying en thusiasm, sincerity, and efforts shown by all
the individuals from whom manuscripts have been solicited. Despite
much propaganda to the contrary, 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 thalt 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, pharma cologists,
toxicologists, and changing pest-control requirements in
progressive food-producing economies. These matters are also of
genuine concern to increasing numbers of governmental agencies and
legislative bodies around the world, for some of these chemicals
have resulted in a few mishaps from improper use. Adequate
safety-in-use evaluations of any of these chemicals persisting into
our food stuffs are not simple matters, and they incorporate the
considered judgments of many individuals highly trained in a
variety of complex biological, chemi cal, food technological,
medical, pharmacological, and toxicological disciplines."
