This document presents the toxicological evaluations from the Joint FAO/WHO Meeting on Pesticide Residues (JMPR) 2022, providing assessments of acceptable daily intakes (ADIs), acute reference doses (ARfDs), and maximum residue limits (MRLs) for various pesticides. The meeting reviewed 34 pesticides, including new compounds and periodic re-evaluations, focusing on toxicological risks, metabolism, and environmental impact. The evaluations highlight concerns over dietary exposure, food safety, and international trade implications. The report provides detailed toxicological monographs for individual pesticides, assessing their long-term health effects and regulatory standards.
