“…However, in another study, a number of 15 organophosphorus insecticides were investigated in 275 honey samples in 33 different cities of Turkey. When the limit of determination values was detected between 0.25 and 9.55 ng·g −1 , no insecticide residue was detected in the samples analyzed [31]. An investigation of the naphthalene concentration in samples of contaminated honey consumed in Turkey was reported.…”

Agricultural contamination with pesticides and antibiotics is a challenging problem that needs to be fully addressed. Bee products, such as honey, are widely consumed as food and medicine and their contamination may carry serious health hazards. Honey and other bee products are polluted by pesticides, heavy metals, bacteria and radioactive materials. Pesticide residues cause genetic mutations and cellular degradation and presence of antibiotics might increase resistant human or animal's pathogens. Many cases of infant botulisms have been attributed to contaminated honey. Honey may be very toxic when produced from certain plants. Ingestion of honey without knowing its source and safety might be problematic. Honey should be labeled to explore its origin, composition, and clear statement that it is free from contaminants. Honey that is not subjected for analysis and sterilization should not be used in infants, and should not be applied to wounds or used for medicinal purposes. This article reviews the extent and health impact of honey contamination and stresses on the introduction of a strict monitoring system and validation of acceptable minimal concentrations of pollutants or identifying maximum residue limits for bee products, in particular, honey.

“…6) Several studies have reported the presence of MP and its metabolite residues in human food, vegetables, honey, milk, and processed products, such as yogurt. [7][8][9] In addition, MP has been reported in atmospheric samples, 10) sediment samples, 11) fresh water samples, 12) and marine water samples. 13) Furthermore, the e ects of MP on the behavior of bees have been reported at sublethal doses.…”

e aim of this work is to present an integrated process for the remediation of soils contaminated with o,o-dimethyl o-(pnitrophenyl)phosphorothioate, known as methyl parathion (MP), by surfactant-enhanced soil washing and treatment of the produced wastewaters in an aerobic-submerged bio lter. Soils containing approximately 0.4 and 13 mg/kg of MP were washed using anionic, nonionic, zwitterionic, and natural surfactants. Between 63 and 98% of the initial concentrations of MP were removed. Wastewater produced from soil washing with the addition of a natural biosurfactant, locust bean gum [0.01% (w/w)], was used for the experiments in an aerobic-submerged bio lter in which MP concentration decreased from an initial value of 0.78 mg/L up to a value of 0.05 mg/L in 6 days, indicating the feasibility of the treatment proposed.

“…Solid Phase Extraction (SPE) [9,10] and Liquid-Liquid Extraction (LLE) [11,12] are the most common extraction and purification techniques used in the determination of pesticide residue in honey. Other extraction techniques, such as Supercritical Fluid Extraction (SFE) [13], Matrix Solid Phase Dispersion (MSPD) [14], Solid Phase Micro Extraction (SPME) [15,16] and Stir Bar Sorptive Extraction (SBSE) [13,17] have been developed to reduce the quantities of reagents and time spent on sample preparation.…”

In this study, a QuEChERS method and gas chromatography coupled with time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC×GC-TOFMS) was developed for rapid extraction and simultaneous determination of 12 pesticide residues in honey. The GC×GC-TOFMS method was validated according to the SANCO guidance in terms of linearity, selectivity, reproducibility and recovery. Regarding the results, recovery rates ranged between 70-120% with relative standard deviations <20% in most cases. The method Limits of Quantification (LOQ) ranged between 6-26 ng/g. According to the estimated LOQ values the analytical procedure can be applied to analysis of real honey samples.
