| Chemical names: | 3-PHENOXY (±) cis, trans 3-(2,2-DICHLOROVINYL)-2,2-DIMETHYLCYCLOPROPANE-1-CARBOXYLATE; 4-(PHENOXYPHENYL)-METHYL (±) cis, trans 3-(2,2-DICHLOROETHENENYL)-2,2-DIMETHYLCYCLOPROPANECARBOXYLATE | Functional class: | VETERINARY DRUG (INSECTICIDE) | Latest evaluation: | 2000 | Comments/MRLs: | An ADI of 0-50 mg/kg bw for technical grade permethrin with cis:trans ratios of 25:75 to 40:60 was established by the 1999 Joint FAO/WHO Meeting on Pesticide Residues (JMPR; FAO Plant Production and Protection Paper 153, Rome, 2000). At its fifty-forth meeting (2000), the Committee was unable to establish an ADI for the 80:20 cis:trans isomeric mixture proposed for use as a veterinary drug because of the lack of information on toxicity. In the absence of an ADI, the Committee was unable to recommend MRLs for the 80:20 cis:trans isomeric mixture of permethrin. | Report: | TRS 900-JECFA 54/52 | Residues: | FNP 41/13-JECFA 54/87 |
