Abstract Samples of the most common fruits and vegetables were collected from 8 local markets in 6 governorates. These 1579 samples were analyzed for residues of 53 pesticides, which included organophosphorus and organonitrogen compounds and some synthetic pyrethroids. Samples were also analyzed for residues of organochlorine pesticides, although they had been prohibited from use several years ago. Only 510 of the 1579 samples were analyzed for dithiocarbamate pesticide residues, which were determined as CS2. Overall, 76.1% of the total analyzed samples had no detectable residues, 23.9% contained detectable residues, and 2.59% contained residues that exceeded maximum residue limits. For individual crops, contaminated samples ranged from 0 to 96% of the number of samples analyzed. However, the highest violative percentage for samples of individual crops was 12.5. Chlorpyrifos, carbaryl, dimethoate, bromopropylate, and profenofos were the violative pesticides determined in fruit and vegetable samples. The results of the current study demonstrated that no restricted or banned pesticides such as DDT, HCH, and their isomers were found in any of the samples analyzed. Dithiocarbamate residues were detected in 9.4% of the 510 samples analyzed, with a violative percentage of 0.39, representing one grape sample and one peach sample.

Organochlorine Pesticide Residues

Abstract Organophosphorus, dithiocarbamates, and some synthetic pyrethroids pesticides, which are commonly used in Egypt for pest control, were monitored, as well as persistent organochlorines, which had been prohibited from use several years ago. Fruit and vegetable samples (397) were collected from 8 local markets and examined for 52 pesticides. Of all analyzed samples, 42.8% contained detectable residues, of which 1.76% exceeded their maximum residue limits (MRLs). The rates of contamination with the different pesticides were 0-86%. However, violation rates among contaminated products were very low, ranging from 0 to 4.6%. In general, organochlorine pesticide residues were not detected in most samples. Dithiocarbamate residues were found in 70.4% of 98 samples analyzed for dithiocarbamates, but only one grape sample had residues exceeding the MRL established by the Codex Committee on Pesticide Residues.

The Stability

Abstract The stability of 8 synthetic pyrethroids in 9 crops during storage for 90 days were studied. The 8 pyrethroid insecticides were highly persistent in the 6 grains during storage. But their stabilities in 3 kinds of fruits and vegetables were different from those in the 6 grains: Most of them were degraded. Florisil purification conditions were studied with 6 batches of Florisil from 3 countries at various extents of deactivation and amounts. The best conditions of Florisil purification found in this present research agree with those found 1 year ago. The efficiencies of acetonitrile and acetone to extract the 8 pyrethroids from 6 fruit and vegetable samples were compared. The extraction efficiency of acetone was competitive with that of acetonitrile for the 6 fruit and vegetable samples. Method performance was evaluated by 6 analysts from different areas. The ruggedness tests demonstrate further that the proposed method is simple, accurate with good precision, and suitable for multiresidue analysis of pyrethroids in various agriculture products.

Abstract This study investigated the levels of Organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) in vegetables and fruits from local markets of Dhaka, Bangladesh using gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS) and analyzed the possible health risks of peoples through consumption of those fruits and vegetables. A total of 100 vegetables and 100 fruits samples were analyzed and 45% of vegetable samples and 40% of fruit samples were found to be contaminated with OCPs residues. Aldrin, p,p-DDE, Cis-Chordane, p,p-DDT, Endrin, α-Endosulfan and Lindane-I were detected in vegetable samples while Aldrin, p,p-DDE, p,p-DDT, α-Endosulfan and Lindane-I were detected in fruit samples. The HI values of Aldrin, p,p-DDE, Cis-Chordane, p,p-DDT, Endrin, α-Endosulfan and Lindane-I in vegetables were 0.109, 0.006, 0.396, 0.008, 0.153, 0.882 and 0.019 respectively while HI values of Aldrin, p,p-DDE, p,p-DDT, α-Endosulfan and Lindane-I in fruit samples were 0.0155, 0.0005, 0.0002, 0.0339, 0.0019 respectively. The average concentration of detected OCPs residues were below the FAO’s recommended maximum residue limits (MRL). It is therefore concluded that, even though OCPs residues are within the maximum tolerance range but continuous accumulation in consumer body through consumption of such vegetables and fruits may lead to chronic effects that could be fatal.

Goals And Objectives

Abstract For the 5-year period 1991 to 1995, 1536 vegetable and 802 fruit samples were analyzed. The purpose of this study was to determine if pesticides were present on Ontario-produced fruits and vegetables, and if so, to determine if residues violated maximum residue limits (MRLs). Overall, 31.5% of the samples had no detectable pesticide residues, whereas 68.5% contained one or more residues. Most of the residues were present at very low concentrations; 48% of the detections were <0.1 parts per million (ppm), and 86% were <1 ppm. However, violations of MRL were observed in only 3.2% of the vegetable samples and 3.1% of the fruit samples. In addition, 4.8% of the samples contained a “technical” violation, that is, there was no specified MRL for the pesticide–commodity combination and the residues exceeded 0.1 ppm. Of the detectable residues, 63% were <10% of the MRL, whereas 89% were <50% of the MRL. More fruit samples (91.4%) had a detectable residue, compared with vegetable samples (56.6%). Fruit is often treated close to harvest or post harvest to ensure that wholesome produce reaches the consumer. Forty-six percent of the samples contained 2 or more residues, and 2% of all samples had more than 5 different pesticides detected; fruit samples tended to have more multiple residues. The most frequently found pesticides were captan, the dithiocarbamate fungicides, endosulfan, azinphos-methyl, phosmet, parathion, and iprodione. These pesticides were also used in the greatest quantity for crop production. Overall, the data agree fairly closely with those reported for the U.S. Department of Agriculture Pesticide Data Program because the 2 programs have similar analytical goals and objectives.

This report presents the development of analytical method for determination of dithiocarbamat fungicides (DTCs) residues in vegetables through CS2 using gas chromatography with electron capture detector (GC-ECD). Research results show that the method recovery ranges from 84.9 – 98.7% and meets the requirement for pesticide residues analyzing. This method has also been applied for analyzing 12 vegetable samples collected in Tan Dinh and Thi Nghe markets. The results showed that the majority of DTCs levels of these samples are lower LOD value except sample BC2 (0.08 mg/g) and sample X3 (0.11 mg/g).

Multiple pesticides are used in vegetable and fruit cultivation worldwide, including in Thailand. A survey series on pesticide residues in vegetable and fruit samples sourced from markets in urban and rural areas of upper northern Thailand during 2007–2013. Sixteen different vegetables (n = 412) and 11 different fruits (n = 301) were analyzed for 43 pesticide residues including 20 organophosphates (OP), 6 synthetic pyrethroids, 12 carbamates, 2 abamectins, imidacloprid, dithiocarbamates, and carbendazim. Out of the 412 vegetable samples, 235 (57%) had pesticide residues and 185 (45%) had pesticide residues that exceeded the maximum residue limits (MRLs). For the fruit samples, 245 (81%) of the 301 samples had pesticide residues and 165 (55%) had pesticide residues that exceeded the MRLs. The vegetable and the fruit samples had multiple synthetic pyrethroid residues and higher levels of residues than OP and other pesticides. Among the OP pesticides, chlorpyrifos was the most frequently detected pesticide. Residue detection in the rural samples was higher than that in the urban samples. The present study found very high numbers of samples to be above the MRLs: 45% of the vegetable samples and 55% of the fruit samples. Therefore, multi-residue methods are proposed as a regular monitoring system to ensure coverage of the multiple pesticides that are commonly used in agriculture and secure the national food safety policy.

At this present day, the use of pesticides has become an important part of farming practices for our farmer as well as for public health. Pesticides are being used globally in such an inflated rate that many of them are on the way of becoming a serious threat to the biosphere. Besides providing a very good coverage over various pest infestations, they bring additional hazard to non-targeted organisms, application surfaces and harm to the applicator. All-round use of pesticides had resulted in tainting of all the basic necessities of life, i.e. air, water and food. The incessant use of pesticides has caused the deleterious effects to ecosystem as well. In response to this, numerous methods have been developed by several regulatory agencies and private laboratories which are being applied perpetually for the qualitative and quantitative quantification and monitoring of multi pesticide residues in different vegetables and crops. The main intent of the review is to document access and analyze the results of the former data on levels of different pesticides in various fruits and vegetables in India and abroad. The findings of the previous studies clearly indicated that approximately more than 50 % of the samples were contaminated with organophosphate, pyrethroids and organochlorine pesticides. Many studies reported that among fresh fruits and vegetables tomato, apple, melon, mango, grapes, and plum crossed the FAO/WHO permissible limits for these contaminants residual levels.
