DESCRIPTION: The IPCS is a cooperative venture of three UN agencies: the WHO, the ILO, and the UNEP. WHO is the executing agency and manages the Central Unit in Geneva. One of the primary long-term objectives of the Programme is to evaluate the effects of chemicals on human health and the environment. One of the most important ongoing IPCS activities in this area is the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA), in which IPCS collaborates with the FAO. JECFA is the scientific advisory body to two general subject committees of the Codex Alimentarius Commission, the Codex Committee on Food Additives and Contaminants (CCFAC) and the Codex Committee on Residues of Veterinary Drugs in Foods (CCRVDF). Two JECFA meetings are held each year, one to evaluate food additives and contaminants and the other to evaluate residues of veterinary drugs in food. IPCS invites experts in toxicology and in estimating intake of food additives, contaminants, and veterinary drug residues in food consumed by humans to serve as Temporary Advisers, who will: review relevant published papers and confidential proprietary data; prepare working papers summarizing the information on substances under consideration; participate in the meeting; and, ensure that their working papers reflect the decisions made at the meeting. The findings are subsequently published as toxicological monographs in the WHO Food Additives Series. A substantial number of the toxicological monographs are drafted by staff of the Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, the Center for Veterinary Medicine, and the National Center for Toxicological Research. This application requests a continuation of the support of these activities by the Food and Drug Administration.

说明： IPCS是三个联合国机构的合作项目：世卫组织、国际劳工组织和联合国环境规划署。世卫组织是执行机构，管理日内瓦的中央单位。该方案的主要长期目标之一是评估化学品对人类健康和环境的影响。IPCS在这一领域正在进行的最重要活动之一是粮农组织/世卫组织食品添加剂联合专家委员会(JECFA)，IPCS在该委员会中与粮农组织合作。食品添加剂联合专家委员会是食品法典委员会两个一般主题委员会的科学咨询机构，即食品添加剂和污染物法典委员会(CCFAC)和食品中兽药残留法典委员会(CCRVDF)。JECFA每年举行两次会议，一次是评估食品添加剂和污染物，另一次是评估食品中兽药的残留。IPCS邀请毒理学和估计人类食用食品中食品添加剂、污染物和兽药残留摄入量的专家担任临时顾问，他们将：审查相关发表的文件和机密专有数据；编写工作文件，概述正在审议的物质的信息；参加会议；并确保其工作文件反映会议作出的决定。这些发现随后作为毒理学专著发表在世卫组织食品添加剂系列中。相当数量的毒理学专著是由食品安全和应用营养中心、兽医中心和国家毒物研究中心的工作人员起草的。本申请请求食品和药物管理局继续支持这些活动。
