“…However, in the present study, we only considered the consumption of apples. This approach may be of interest because it enables the comparison of the levels of exposure with ADI toxicological reference values, as previously conducted in several studies 27‐29 . Dithianon had the closest exposure value (95th percentile) to the ADI in all age groups, reaching 5.74% of the ADI in young children (Table 6).…”

[27][28][29] Dithianon had the closest exposure value (95th percentile) to the ADI in all age groups, reaching 5.74% of the ADI in young children (Table 6). In 2020, EFSA estimated the average chronic exposure to dithianon, for the general population in Europe, to be between 2.4% and 4.5% of the ADI.…”

BACKGROUND Studies have shown that the consumption of apples has a beneficial effect on cardiovascular diseases and some cancers, largely as a result of their micronutrient and phytoconstituent contents. Apple peel not only contains more polyphenols than the flesh, but also is likely to contain pesticide residues. The present study aimed to compare the contents of certain micronutrients and residual pesticide levels in peeled and unpeeled apples. RESULTS Peeled apples contained fewer pesticide residues at lower concentrations than unpeeled apples. However, whether samples were peeled or not, the exposure values for pesticide residues in apples never exceeded the acceptable daily intake (ADI), but ranged between 0.04% and 2.10% of the ADI in adults for food intake estimated at the 95th percentile (277 g per person per day). Determination of polyphenol, fibre, magnesium and vitamin C levels showed that the nutritional differences observed between peeled and unpeeled apples were marginal. CONCLUSION The consumption of apples, such as the apples tested in the present study, results in an exposure to pesticides that is low for unpeeled apples, and lower for peeled apples. Moreover, there was no significant loss of nutritional value from eating peeled apples based on the nutrients investigated. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

“…The results indicated HQ values where less than 1 in adult and children consumers for all pesticide residues. However, CR values were found to possess considerable carcinogenic risk in these commodities ( Mahdavi et al., 2022a ). Potential health risk assessment was evaluated in vegetables and fruits samples for pesticide residues.…”

“…In addition, these climatic conditions increase the speed of maturation of tomatoes, which makes it difficult to respect the DAR. Regarding fruit, studies have shown that the apple has one of the fruits that contains more pesticides [33][34] due to sensitivities to certain insects such as codling moth 35 and apple scab 36 . These surveys also showed that few consumers have a high level of training and few of them know the repercussions of these pesticides on health.…”

Introduction: Pesticides are increasingly used in agriculture to protect crops against diseases, insect pests, weeds, etc. Pesticides leave residues and chemical active material, which can affect the health of consumers. Several epidemiological studies have demonstrated a link between pesticide residues in fruits and vegetables and disease infestations in humans and problems related to sterility, allergies, and even carcinogenic diseases. Consumer awareness and the application of strict legislation about the application of pesticides in agriculture remain as a good alternative to face this issue. Methods: This survey was carried out in the region of Nador, North-East of Morocco. It is a quantitative study of a representative sample made up of 100 consumers and 50 farmers in relation to fruit and vegetables and the use of pesticides. Results: Most consumers are not aware of the danger of pesticides and residues in fruits and vegetables. In addition, the survey revealed that potato, tomato, apples, and bananas are the most consumed. These foods are usually characterized by a high rate of application of pesticides and with a higher rate of pesticides residues. In addition, surveys carried out in farmers, revealed that they consider the economic and agronomic interest of the application of these pesticides without considering the residual effects on health. Moreover, a high rate of sterility was observed among these surveyed farmers (31%). Conclusions: The consumers are less aware of the danger of pesticides. The choices of farmers are only accentuated on the aspect of economic use of these products and not on the health and environment.
