Reviews research on assessing and managing the risks from pesticide, veterinary, and other chemical residues in food. This text covers assessment and management of risks, with topics that include genetic susceptibility to dietary carcinogens, good agricultural practices, methods for analyzing residues, and assessing the mutagenicity of chemicals.
