“…Chloropyrifos was not detected among all the mentioned varieties because Chloropyrifos was sprayed at dormant period when plants had no fruits. Similar results were reported for Chloropyrifos in peaches in Pakistan [30]. Current study significantly correlates with results of [31].…”

Protection of agricultural crops from pests and diseases is very important to fulfill the needs of growing population. For this purpose, different types of chemicals are used which leads to the accumulation of toxic organic and inorganic compounds in agricultural cycle particularly in economically important fruits and vegetables. Pesticide residue analysis is fundamentally important to ensure the safety of foods, plant and animal origin, and to preserve the environment. It is therefore crucial to monitor fruits and vegetables for pesticide residues using available advanced analytical techniques. The current study was assigned to investigate pesticide residues in peach fruit. We selected six peach cultivars (Early Grand, Florida King, NJC (05), Elberta (06), Maria Delezia, and Indian blood) from four different locations of district Swat. The sampled fruit varieties were then analysed for pesticide residues using gas chromatography and mass spectroscopy (GC-MS). Results showed that Early Grand variety had pesticide residues with highest concentration of Cypermethrin (16.7±1.38 µg kg -1 ) followed by Pyridaben (7.425±0.11µg kg -1 ). In Florida King, the highest c oncentration of Endosulfan (32.78±0.9 µg kg -1 ) is detected followed by Metachlore (17.36±0.44 µg kg -1 ). In variety NJC and Elberta, Pyredaben, Propachlor, Carbofuran, Cypermethrine, Endosulfan, and Cyhalothrine compound were found. In both varieties, Endosulfan was in the highest concentration (21.27±1.20 µg kg -1 and 67.94±4.61 µg kg -1 respectively). As these two varieties had close harvesting time, both varieties showed a similar pattern of pesticide residues. In variety Maria, Difenaconazole was found in the highest concentration (187.51µg kg -1 ) while the Indian blood variety difenaconazole

“…Pesticide selection was not just based on those which are frequently applied in the fruit orchards but also on the ones previously reported and having a long application history in the study area (Table 1). The analytical method used in this study was slightly modified form of the one previously validated by Samad et al (2019), the inter-laboratory reproducibility, as well as revalidation of the method, was performed and results are presented in Table 2.…”

“…The chopped, frozen samples were taken out and kept open to attain room temperature before the extraction procedure. The method used in this study was slightly modified form reported by (Samad et al, 2019) with modification in the clean-up phase to remove the additional colour pigment from the samples i.e. activated carbon was added during solid-phase extraction.…”

| Peaches, similar to many other fruits and vegetables, are treated with different pesticides at various stages of their growth and development, under conventional agricultural practices especially in developing countries. Pesticide residues in fruits and vegetables have achieved considerable attention due to the unempirical utilization of pesticides. Fruits and their products can serve as potential sources of toxic constituents such as pesticide residues, as they are often consumed unprocessed. This study was designed to assess the pesticide contamination level in different varieties of peach collected from the Swat and Peshawar districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. The analytical method was optimized for a total of nine different pesticides (Atrazine, parathion-methyl, chlorpyrifos, captan, α-endosulfan, dieldrin, β-endosulfan, endosulfan sulfate, and α-cypermethrin) of various chemical classes, using Agilent's Intuvo-9000 GC-µECD system. A total of thirteen peach samples, ten from fruit orchards and three from fruit markets, belonging to five different varieties were collected and analysed. 38% of the samples were found to be non-compliant to EU-MRL for chlorpyrifos, 8% for atrazine and parathion-methyl, whereas no non-compliance was observed for FAO/codex maximum residue limits (MRLs). The designed method for the multi-class pesticide residues was standardized for peaches via GC-µECD. Based on the results of the present study, it is the need of time to conduct more research in this field; disseminate results, and develop stringent policies to screen the use of pesticides sustainably for the benefit of the environment and mankind.

“…The statement that OCs are "poisonous to humans, animals, plants, and overall food webs" has been ratified. It is observed that detection of different pesticides in Pakistani Samples of Peach lies within the Residual Limit (Rana, Asghar, Haider, & Davies, 2021;Samad, Akhtar, Shahid, & Ahad, 2019).…”

Persistent organic pollutants and heavy metals are damaging the environment. Crops and fields are destroyed by the seepage of heavy metals from untreated industrial waste. The burning and incineration of a variety of items also contributes to main and secondary emissions of pollutants. The excessive usage of Pesticides in Pakistan causes contamination, which effects the ecosystem. Although they increased life quality but also posed a significant health danger. The toxic properties of various pesticides and organic pollutants in Pakistani fruits was observed by exceeding the MRLs. The study aimed to stimulate discussion among Pakistan's stakeholders about the dangers and toxicity of pesticides, as well as prompt plans for environmental cleanup and more environmentally friendly farming. Due to ignorance, a sizable section of the populace is unaware of the issue of pesticide residues and their accumulation in the food chain. The major goal of the review is to record, evaluate, and examine the findings of earlier research on the levels of various pesticides in particular fruits from Pakistan. The results of the earlier investigations made it abundantly evident that more than 50% of the samples were contaminated with pesticides such as organophosphate, pyrethroid, and organochlorine.
