INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMME ON CHEMICAL SAFETY

产品说明： IPCS是三个联合国机构的合作项目：WHO、ILO和UNEP。卫生组织是执行机构，负责管理日内瓦的中央股。该方案的主要长期目标之一是评价化学品对人类健康和环境的影响。国际化学品安全方案在这一领域正在开展的最重要的活动之一是粮农组织/卫生组织食品添加剂联合专家委员会，国际化学品安全方案在该委员会中与粮农组织开展合作。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，这两个委员会是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）。食品添加剂联合专家委员会每年举行两次会议，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残留。国际化学品安全方案邀请毒理学专家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：审查相关的已发表论文和机密专有数据;编写工作文件，概述审议中物质的信息;参加会议;并确保其工作文件反映会议作出的决定。 研究结果随后作为毒理学专著在世界卫生组织食品添加剂系列中发表。 大量毒理学专论由食品安全和应用营养中心、兽医中心和国家毒理学研究中心的工作人员起草。本申请要求美国食品药品监督管理局继续支持这些活动。

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.
