“…ΣDDT was quantified in eggs from The highest concentration was from a pooled egg sample from the village of Vikuge in Tanzania, located near an old pesticide dump; soil from the dump contained 282 g/kg DDT. Chicken eggs from Kenya contained 7000 ng/g lm ΣDDT (range <100-10250 ng/g lm) (Mugambi et al, 1989). Compared with our results (Table 1), chicken eggs had concentrations at least one order of magnitude higher than the maximum listed above, and two to three orders of magnitude higher than most records.…”

Highlights No published studies on DDT in chicken eggs from a malaria controlled area  Median and maximum ΣDDT concentrations were 11 000 and 48 000 ng/g wet mass  The maximum residue limit was exceeded 100 times  Calculated acceptable daily intake was not exceeded (3 eggs/week/60 kg bm)  Reductions of DDT in soil ingested by chickens may reduce human intake via eggs ABSTRACT In malaria endemic areas, where DDT is still used for vector control by indoor residual spraying (IRS), concentrations of DDT in human blood and breast milk are high, and there are indications of human health impact. In order to identify possible avenues of exposure reduction, we created the concept of a Total Homestead Environment Approach (THEA). THEA characterises the interactions between DDT, humans, and biota within and around homesteads. One dietary route of human exposure and uptake of DDT, namely chicken egg consumption, has, to our knowledge, never been published. ΣDDT in eggs from a DDT-sprayed village ranged between 5200-48 000 ng/g wm (wet mass), with a median of 11 000 ng/g wm. On a lipid mass-basis (lm), the mean ΣDDT for eggs from the sprayed village was 100 000 ng/g lm. The maximum egg concentration observed was three orders of magnitude higher than the median. The acceptable daily intake (ADI) was exceeded 2.5 times based 1

“…Therefore the current results indicate that aldrin has been in considerable use in the lake's catchment. The extent of aldrin use in Kenya has probably been much less than the use of DDT, but relatively high aldrin and dieldrin levels have been found in Kenyan human milk as compared to the corresponding levels in other countries (Kanja et al, 1986) and in domestic fowl eggs from central Kenya (Mugambi et al, 1989). Most of the highest residue concentrations recorded in black bass and crayfish were those of lindane.…”

“…While p,p'-DDT is the functional compound used, its conversion in the environment produces the metabolite p,p'-DDE (Kanja et al, 1986;Mugambi et al, 1989;Pastor et al, 1996). Environmental conversion of DDT to the more persistent DDE may result in samples containing predominantly DDE.…”

Water, sediment, red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) and black bass (Micropterus salmoides) from Lake Naivasha were analyzed for selected organochlorine and organophosphorus pesticide residues. The mean p,p'-DDT, o,p'-DDT and p,p'-DDE residue levels recorded in black bass (28.3 (± 30.0), 34.2 (±54.0) and 16.1 (±16.1) µg kg −1 , respectively) and crayfish (4.6 (±5.1), 3.2 (±2.8), and 1.4 (±1.1) µg kg −1 , respectively), were higher than previously recorded. This indicated recent usage of technical DDT in the lake's catchment. Levels of p,p'-DDT, higher than those of p,p'-DDE further emphasized this. Mean lindane, dieldrin, β-endosulfan and aldrin concentrations in black bass were 100.5, 34.6, 21.6 and 16.7 µg kg −1 , respectively. The same residues were detected at lower concentrations in crayfish at 2.0, 2.0, 2.0 and 1.9 µg kg −1 , respectively. The higher fat content (3.7 ± 2.7% SD) in black bass (compared to 0.6 ± 0.3% in crayfish) accounted for the significantly higher residue concentrations in black bass. Organophosphate pesticides were the most commonly used pesticides in the lake's catchment, but none was detected in any of the samples. The results indicate that there is need for further work to identify sources and fate of pesticide contaminants, as well as to improve monitoring of pesticide use throughout the catchment.

LMR em ovo, assim como o parâmetro de ingestão diária aceitável não foi estabelecido, porém a presença em ovo pode ser atribuída a alimentação dos animais e este praguicida devido a presença de cloro na molécula pode contribuir para o risco crônico à saúde humana. Embora apenas uma amostra tenha tido um resultado positivo, o controle dos alimentos destinados a população são um importante fator a ser controlado para garantir a saúde da população. Palavras-chave: Praguicidas. Resíduos. Ovo. Ingestão diária aceitável. Risco a saúde. ABSTRACT ABSTRACT CISCATO, C. H. P. Pesticide residue in egg samples commercialized in Sao Paulo City. 2008. 105 f. Thesis (Doctorate) -Faculdade de Medicina Veterinária e Zootecnia, Universidade de São Paulo, São Paulo, 2008.The use of pesticides in agriculture and livestock can cause serious problem for human beings and animal health. The control of these substances in food and in the environment is an important instrument to minimize these risks. In Brazil information about pesticide residues on food are insufficient, especially for animal products. An important nutrient supply on human diet is the egg, it provides several nutrients especially for children. According to FAO Brazil is the 7 th in world ranking production and produces 1.72million dozen/year and the consumption is around 1.7 kg/year (IBGE, 2003). Despite of the Brazilian scene the consumption per capita almost of egg production is exported to other countries and the main countries are Saudi Arabia, China, Japan and Netherlands. The study was developed from January 2004 to 2006, 150 egg samples were collected from the national market and evaluated for pesticide residues of organochlorine, organophosphorus and pyrethroids pesticides.A multiresidue method were employed to determinate the pesticide in samples. The method uses an organic solvent extraction, a partition with dichloromethane and purification step by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and silica gel column. For identification and quantification it was used gas chromatography techinique with ECD, NPD and FPD detectors. The recoveries for the method were within 70 to 120%. The results of the analysis showed that the herbicide alachlor were detected in 0.7% of the samples and the chronic dietary intake was evaluated. The pesticide does not have a proper use in egg, no MRL established and no ADI parameter. The presence could be attributed to feed contamination and the contribution to health risk could be detached once it has a chlorine molecule which could contribute to chronic diseases. Although only one sample was positive to pesticide residues this result is important to food quality control and consumer health. It helps to emphasize the risk studies on pesticide residues on animal and vegetable food.
