Pesticides, pesticide residues, tolerances, and the law (U.S.A.)

  • Conference paper
Residue Reviews / Rückstands-Berichte

Part of the book series: Residue Reviews ((RECT,volume 35))

Abstract

Until the latter part of the 1950–1960 decade, pesticide, residue, and tolerance (the last two terms in the connotative sense of pesticides) were words primarily limited to the vocabulary of those involved in agricultural pursuits and small groups of specialists within the confines of the University academe. Similarly, the 1947 Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) (U.S. Department of Agriculture 1964) and the Miller Bill (Pesticide Chemicals Amendment) of 1954 and the Food Additives Amendment of 1958 to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (1967) were of primary interest only to the agriculturist, food processor, and chemical manufacturer.1
