“…Numerous surveys and monitoring programs on pesticide residues in foodstuffs are being carried out around the world. Most of these focus on specific risk issues regarding compliance with MRLs and consumer safety (Ahmed et al 2014;Bakırcı et al 2014;Berrada et al 2006;Chen et al 2011;Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine 2012;Góralczyk et al 1998Góralczyk et al , 2005Góralczyk et al , 2009Hjorth et al 2011;Iñigo-Nuñez et al 2010;Jardim and Caldas 2012;Knežević et al 2012;Matt et al 2013).…”

The aim of this study was to characterize short-and long-term risk for consumers associated with dietary intake of pesticide residues in fruits, vegetables, and other foodstuffs available on the Polish market based on 2010-2013 official surveillance results. Among 779 samples collected from 2010 to 2013 no pesticide residue was found in 39.7% samples while 58.5% contained residues at or below the EU Maximum Residue Levels (MRLs). Non-compliances (residues above the respective MRLs) were found in 14 samples (1.8%). Most of the estimated daily intakes were well below 1% of respective acceptable daily intake (ADI) values. The highest intake for children and adults was about 7% and 1.5% of ADI, respectively. For non-compliant results acute risk was characterized. Predicted short-term intakes for children and adults ranged from 0.7% to 425%, and from 0.2% to 100% of respective acute reference dose, respectively. Results of chronic risk characterization show that consumers in Poland are adequately protected; however, incidental cases where residue levels may potentially pose a threat to consumers' health due to acute exposure cannot be excluded.

“…It depicts an alarming situation because most of the countries such as Croatia, Uruguay, Argentina and some South American countries (Peru, Chile, Brazil) have reported higher levels of contaminants than reported values from Pakistan. But only a maximum of 10 % of the samples were above MRLs in fruits and vegetables revealing a proper implementation of legislation, regarding safe dose of pesticide application on food commodities (Knezevic et al 2012;Hjorth et al 2011). Studies reported from Pakistan showed higher residual levels and number of samples exceeding the MRLs.…”

The main objective of the review is to document, assess and analyze the results of the previously reported data on levels of different pesticides in selected fruits and vegetables from Pakistan. The findings of the previous studies clearly indicated that more than 50 % of the samples were contaminated with organophosphate, pyrethroids and organochlorine pesticides. Many studies reported that among fresh fruits and vegetables tomato, apple, melon, mango, grapes, and plum crossed the FAO/WHO permissible limits for these contaminants residual levels. The comparison of other regions showed that observed levels were found above maximum residue limits (MRLs) in 50 % of the samples but were in agreement with the studies from neighboring countries like China and Bangladesh. Higher hazard risk index (HRI) values were calculated for dieldrin, methamidophos, o,p′-DDT, diazinon and p,p′-DDT in apple, mango, banana, melon, potato and onion. The review also highlights that data on pesticide residues in foodstuff is scarce which should be overcome by further extending studies from different areas of Pakistan. In order to ascertain the provision of food suitable for human consumption, it is imperative to monitor pesticides in food commodities by the country's authorities and enforce guidelines based on permissible limits.

“…The pesticide residues analyzed in this study have been evaluated in previous studies of whole oranges (Chen et al, 2011;Parveen et al, 2011;Knezevic et al, 2012;Torres et al, 1996;Jardim & Caldas, 2012;Neff et al, 2012;Farag et al, 2011;Fallico et al, 2009;Hjorth et al, 2011) and orange juice (Iñigo-Nuñez et al, 2010). Compared with the compounds studied in this research, two organophosphorus pesticides were found, chlorpyrifos (5.3%) and diazinon (10.5%).…”

“…Farag et al (2011) analyzed 141 pesticide residues in 31 orange samples from the local markets in Cairo; 22 (66.7%) of them were contaminated with 8 different pesticide residues, including fenpropathrin and chlorpyrifos, which were also detected in this work. Knezevic et al (2012) The assessment of the estimated chronic risk from orange intake is indicated in Table 3. The health risk characterization, based on the mean and highest results found in this work, respectively ranged from 0.04 to 0.37% and from 0.13 to 6.62% of the ADI for adults and from 0.14 to 1.46% and from 0.54 to 26.5% of the ADI for children.…”

Pesticides in "PERA" orange samples (N = 57) from São Paulo City, Brazil were assessed and the pesticide intake contribution was estimated for chronic risk assessment. Seventy-six pesticides were evaluated by the gas chromatography multi-residue method, including isomers and metabolites (4.332 determinations). The mean recoveries at the limit of quantification level were in the range of 72-115% and the relative standard deviation for five replicate samples was 1-11%. The limits of detection and quantification ranged from 0.005 to 0.4 mg.kg −1 and from 0.01 to 0.8 mg.kg −1, respectively. Pesticides were found in 42.1% of the samples at levels ranging from 0.06 to 2.9 mg.kg −1. Df the contaminated samples, 3.5% contained residues (bifenthrin and clofentezine) above the maximum residue level and 12.3% contained unauthorized pesticides (azinphos-ethyl, parathion, myclobutanil, profenofos, and fenitrothion). The estimated risk characterization for orange intake by adults and children, respectively, ranged from 0.04 to 6.6% and from 0.1 to 26.5% of the acceptable daily intake. The detection of irregular residues emphasizes the need for better implementation of Good Agriculture Practices and greater control of formulated products. Dther pesticides surveyed did not pose a health risk due to consumption.
