“…Pesticides are mostly chemical substances, which are commonly used in modern agriculture practices to protect the crops from different pests and diseases (Guler et al, 2010;Minfal, 2004). They are known to improve agriculture yield considerably leading to an increase in its application over the years (Donkor et al, 2016).…”

The objective of this study was the evaluation of the health risks of the pesticides use and their bioaccumulation by the vegetables grown in Lomé gardens. Pesticide residues levels were assessed in vegetable samples collected in Lomé areas by Gaz chromatography-mass spectrometry or liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry in order to know their concentrations. Data obtained were used for estimating the potential health risks associated with the exposures to these pesticides.The results showed that all of the samples contain pesticide residues with high levels of Dithiocarbamates (7.79 ppm) in carrots, Chlorpyriphos ethyl (0.445 ppm) in spinach, cucumbers (0.239 ppm), peppers (0.032 ppm), and turnips. Levels above the maximum residue limits (MRLs) of chlorothalonil, and carbendazime were found in peppers, prothioconazole and pendimethalin in turnips, cypermethrin in pepper (0.254 ppm) and in eggplant (0.037 ppm). The pepper has concentrated 5 residues, leek and turnip 4 residues each other, African eggplant 3, lettuce 2 residues and spinach 2 residues. The health risks indices show that the detected pesticides could not be considered as a serious public health problem in the studied conditions, but there is the need to increase their monitoring to reduce their misuse on the vegetables.

Abstract. The purpose of this research was to determine the residue analysis of difenoconazole in apple fruits from Resen region, Republic of Macedonia. Analyzed were two varieties of apples, Golden Delicious and Idared. Samples were taken from two different locations in Resen in the year 2016. Difenoconazole analysis was performed with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) after a previous extraction of residue by applying the QuEChERS method. The obtained concentrations of residues of difenoconazole are compared with the maximum residue limit regulated by the Macedonian legislation. Analyses showed that the concentration of difenoconazole in both varieties of apples from two different locations is in the range of 0.01 to 0.41 mg/kg. In certain development phase of the apple fruits the concentration reaches 80 times lower concentration than the maximum limit. The data show that apple fruits can be safely consumed according to the recommended maximum residue limit (MRL) for difenoconazole in apples (0.8 mg/kg). Statistical processing of the data suggests that there is no significant difference between samples but presence of difenoconazole in apple fruits from both locations is with significant difference.Keywords: Golden delicious, Idared, pesticides, difenoconazole, liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry AGRICULTURAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, VOL. , No , 201 10 1 63 66 8 DOI: 10.15547/ast.2018.01.015 IntroductionFruits are one of the supplementary sources of carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and other biologically active components (Lozowicka et al., 2013). Apple fruits are the most important deciduous fruit consumed during a year in fresh form and various types of many products (Jankuloska et al., 2017). Domestic consumption of apple fruits is 12 kg per citizen per year (State statistical office, 2015). Depending on weather conditions in the year, apple fruits are treated at least 10 to 15 times with pesticides. Pesticides are chemical substances which are commonly used in modern agriculture practices to protect the crops from different pests and diseases (Guler et al., 2010; Lozowicka et al., 2013). For treating the crops permitted active substances are used (Official Gazette of the Republic of Macedonia, 2013). Unfortunately, not all farmers follow legal practices with pesticides during production (Lozowicka et al., 2013).Extensive use of pesticides in modern agriculture to combat plant pests has begun to receive more attention because pesticide residues in food commodities may be hazardous to human health (Mansour, 2004). As a result of treatment with pesticides, apple fruits can be a potential source of toxic substances such as pesticides.Residues of pesticides have to be monitored and controlled. Maximum residues limits of certain substances (pesticides, mycotoxins, heavy metals and other contaminants) in the Republic of Macedonia are presented in the Regulation on general requirements for food safety (Official Gazette of the Republic of Macedonia, 2013).

The journal of Toxicology and pest control is one of the series issued twice by the Egyptian Academic Journal of Biological Sciences, and is devoted to publication of original papers related to the interaction between insects and their environment. The goal of the journal is to advance the scientific understanding of mechanisms of toxicity. Emphasis will be placed on toxic effects observed at relevant exposures, which have direct impact on safety evaluation and risk assessment. The journal therefore welcomes papers on biology ranging from molecular and cell biology, biochemistry and physiology to ecology and environment, also systematics, microbiology, toxicology, hydrobiology, radiobiology and biotechnology. www.eajbs.eg.net Provided for non-commercial research and education use. Not for reproduction, distribution or commercial use.In this study, the residues of commonly used carbamate and pyrethroids pesticides in Libya, (oxamyl, bendiocarb, carbofuran, carbaryl, methomyl, thiocarb, permethrin, deltamethrin , fenvalerate, esfenvalerate , and cypermethrin) in vegetables (tomatoes, cucumber, green pepper, scald, cabbage, lettuce and squash) and fruits (grape, peach, apple and plume) were determined in different seasons (summer 2013, autumn 2013, winter 2014 and spring 2014). HPLC with UV detector was used for quantification, while the quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged and safe (QUECERS) extraction and purification method was used to isolate the pesticides found in samples. The mean recovery ranged between 75-95% with relative standard deviations ranged between 15%-25%. Results indicated that pesticide residues were found in some monitored fruits and vegetable samples. In all, 93.71% of fruit and vegetable samples analyzed contained no detectable level of the monitored pesticides, 2.81% of the samples gave results with levels of pesticide residues above the MRL, while 4.11% of the samples showed results below the MRL. Carbofuran and oxamyl appear to have health risk associated with them while rest of tested pesticides were found to be under safe limit. The results suggested that the consumers of the eastern area of Libya are exposed to concentration of pesticides that may cause chronic diseases correlated with carbofuran and oxamyl. A future study in a longer period of time would allow obtaining a deeper knowledge about the fulfillment of vegetables and fruits produced in Libya with respect to the use of pesticides and their presence in them.
