¹ Since separate maximum residue levels and STMRs have been estimated for methamidophos, arising from the use of either acephate or methamidophos, the risk arising from methamidophos residues should be assessed separately against the methamidophos ADI and acute RfD
² Earlier recommendation for MRL withdrawn by 1994 JMPR

The estimated STMR-P levels listed below for acephate in processed commodities are recommended for use in estimates of dietary intake.
