“…OPs used as additives in materials are not chemically bonded; hence, OPs may easily be released into the environment over time . As a consequence, they have been widely detected in air particles, house dust, drinking water, and baby food; this contamination leads to human exposure. Limited animal studies have suggested that certain OPs may be neurotoxic, carcinogenic, and endocrine disruptors. TNBP was determined as a neurotoxic agent after chronic exposure in rodent . Cl–OPs are suspected carcinogens; for example, TCEP was related to tumor growth in the kidney and thyroid, and TDCIPP might cause cancer in the brain, liver, and testes .…”

“…Due to their health effects, OP residues in crops, food, and food by-products especially residues exceeding the Maximum Residue Levels (MRL) can be a threat to health and international trade (Zhang et al, 2008). Consequently, pesticide monitoring programmes have been implemented…”

“…There are no national MRLs in Kenya, and this could lead to inadequate monitoring of pesticide residues in vegetables. Failure to follow GAP may lead to exposure of consumers to higher than maximum allowable limits, which may lead to adverse health effects (Zhang et al, 2008). In addition, MRL exceedances may impede trade leading to reduced export of the vegetable produce to the EU and other trade partner countries .…”
