| Abstract | ||
| Pesticide residues were monitored in samples of harvested green pepper, potato tubers, and legumes (green bean, green peas, and Vicia faba), from six locations in Palestine. The FPD, ECD, and M.S chromatographic techniques were used to detect, confirm and quantify any of the detectable pesticide residues in these food commodities. Scarcely few pesticide residues were detected using the FPD technique in the analysis of all the studied vegetables, where only chlorpyrifos was detected by FPD in the potato tubers, but at levels lower than the Maximum Residue Limits (MRL) value. On the other hand, of the pesticide residues were detected by the ECD technique, with higher number of residues on green pepper followed by the potato tubers, and the least Were on the three legumes. The ECD pesticide residues which exceeded the MRI's in potato tubers were triademenol, B-endosulfan in both Khan Younis and Gaza locations. Similarly. the following ECD pesticide residues on green pepper and Vicia faba were exceedingly the MRL values: hexdcochåzole, B-endasuflan, arid triadimenol. The rest of the detected residues were fir below the MRL values and cause any health hazard. | ||
