“…This difference in residue levels indicates uptake from IRSapplied DDT, most likely via air and skin contact. Pesticide residue analysis of breast milk of lactating mothers residing in the state of Lower Saxony in Germany was carried out over a time of 8 years (1999-2006) Zietz et al [21]. The median values of DDT, β-HCH, and HCB were found to be 81.5, 11.6 and 22.9 ng/g milk lipid, respectively.…”

The aim of this study is to review the reports of pesticides have been detected in human breast milk in worldwide. Contamination levels of pesticides such as organochlorine pesticides (OCPs), organophosphorus pesticides (OPPs), carbamates and pyrethroids in human breast milk were found to be varied in different countries. The chemical properties of chemicals such as lack of ionization, small molecular weight, low volume of distribution, low maternal serum protein binding, and high lipid solubility, facilitate compound excretion into human milk. Since exposure to pesticides during the early postnatal stages may disturb the normal development of the newborn, such studies may shed light on the wide variety of pesticides that have been detected in human breast milk.

“…Por isso, muitos esforços dos órgãos governamentais e de grupos ambientais são realizados no sentido de documentar essa contaminação e regulamentar o uso de compostos organoclorados, impedindo, se possível, que as suas concentrações atinjam níveis perigosos, particularmente, sobre a dieta alimentar humana. [147][148][149][150] Em corpos aquáticos, como rios e lagos, os organoclorados têm uma probabilidade muito maior de estarem ligados à superfície do material orgânico particulado em suspensão na água e aos sedimentos nas regiões mais profundas, que de estarem dissolvidos na própria água. A partir dessas fontes de contaminação, os agrotóxicos se introduzem nos organismos vivos, como nos peixes.…”

This paper describes the use of pesticides in agriculture. Research has shown that significant quantities of pesticide residues have been found in many types of foods. Thus, an overview is given of pesticide residue determinations in fruits and vegetables, with special attention to apples. The toxicity and the adverse effects possibly caused by the exposure of these compounds are alerting the scientific community to develop studies about the validation of analytical methods for multiresidue pesticide determination in these samples. This review shows that pesticide-residue determination in apples is becoming a very important and challenging issue.

“…Although many OCPs have been banned in most countries for almost 40 years, high residue concentrations are still detected in almost all environmental media, including air (Pozo et al 2008), soil (Tao et al 2008), plant (Srivastava et al 2006), animal (Gebbink et al 2007), and even human tissues (Zietz et al 2008). Soil is the principal reservoir of environmental pesticides and plays an important role in the global distribution and fate of OCPs.…”

Comparison of Different Extraction Methods for Analysis of 10 Organochlorine Pesticides: Application of MAE–SPE Method in Soil from Beijing

Four commonly applied extraction techniques for organochlorine pesticides, microwave-assisted extraction (MAE), accelerated solvent extraction (ASE), quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe (QuEChERS) extraction and ultrasonic solvent extraction, were applied on soil samples in order to evaluate their performances. The extracts were analyzed by GC-ECD and confirmed by GC-MS/MS. The MAE and QuEChERS extraction methods generally yielded higher results compared to the ultrasonication and ASE methods, while the lowest recovery (56.8 %) for o,p 0 -DDD was obtained using the QuEChERS method. The MAE method was further applied to six different soils from Beijing. In the soil samples only a-endosulfan and b-endosulfan were not detected. The ratios of a-HCH/c-HCH and a-HCH/b-HCH indicated HCH residues likely originated from historical use of HCHs, and that technical HCHs were not likely being currently applied in Beijing.
