“…Most of the adverse effects to health, according to Norppa (2004) are the result of the genetic damage induced by genotoxic agents in somatic as well as in germinal cells and any genetic activity of chemicals, it has been suggested, is most likely to result from cell division abnormalities (Parry et al, 1999). Pesticides residues are known to persist in soil (Subbarao, 1999), water (Medina et al, 1999) and in fruits and vegetables (Ahouangninou et al, 2012;Osman et al, 2010) and represent a risk for human health. Genotoxicity and mutagenicity of pesticides for non target organisms and their influence on ecosystems are of worldwide concern (Pimentel et al, 1998).…”
