“…The findings reveal that the pH, ambient temperature, slope of the farm land, precipitation, etc., have an influential impact on the persistence of diazinon in the farms of Amol (Tavakol, 2007). Therefore, it is essential to seriously consider the integrated pest management, supervision of pesticides' distribution and consumption (Krol et al, 2000), use of pesticides with low potential to contaminate the water and soil, conducting public awareness campaigns for the consumers (Na et al, 2006) utilization of other pest control measures like parasitoids and biological methods instead of chemical remedies and finally, development of standards and identification of maximum residue limit (MRL) of the pesticides in the agricultural crops in the country (Tavakol, 2007).…”

“…Krol et al [33] reported the effect of simple household technique of rinsing with tap water to reduce pesticide residues on product. An experiment, which was conducted to find out the effect of processing on acetamiprid, in eggplant fruits via washing with water, residue reduction was minimal after washing.…”

The removal of pesticide residues is essential in order to control and reduce the harmful effects of pesticides commonly used in agriculture. The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of 18 different household washing solutions for the reduction of methomyl and acetamiprid residues from tomatoes. These basic household solutions were used to prepare washing solution to remove pesticides. During this study, tomatoes were divided into two groups: in the first group, tomatoes were treated with the pesticides and the second group was washed with household solutions (distilled water, acetic acid, sodium chloride, ethanol, sodium bicarbonate, hydrogen peroxide, sodium hypochlorite, and liquid soap, lemon juice, mineral water, zam-zam water, whey, milk, and their combinations) after treating with pesticides. The pesticides residues in all samples were extracted by the QuEChERS technique, analyzed by LC-MS/MS. The results showed significant reduction in residues of all washed groups compared with the control (p < 0.01). Acetic acid, sodium chloride+sodium bicarbonate, zam-zam water, acetic acid+sodium chloride, sodium hypochlorite, milk, acetic acid+sodium chloride+sodium bicarbonate, liquid whey, liquid soap, lemon juice, ethanol, and sodium bicarbonate were found to remove more than 50% of both pesticide residues. The effectiveness of washing solutions was different for every type of pesticide. In the same way, blend of washing solutions has shown a synergetic effect on the removal of pesticides and was more effective compared to one solution. This research has raised the potential use of household solutions easily found at home that could be used to remove pesticide residues.

“…As Krol et al has also confirmed it is possible that pesticide residues are incorporated into plant tissue proportional to the time they remain on biologically active crops in the field. This may even be true of pesticides that are not specifically labelled as systemic (Krol, Arsenault, Harry, & Incorvia Mattina, 2000). Furthermore Burchat et al have observed that pesticides residues were significantly reduced following washing of carrots except for the organophosphorus insecticides (Burchat et al, 1998).…”

To quantify the effect of household and industrial processing on the pesticide residues, carrots (Daucus carota) were sprayed during cultivation with three fungicides (boscalid, difenoconazole and tebuconazole), two insecticides (chlorpyrifos and dimethoate) and one herbicide (linuron). The most concentrated formulations were applied pursuant to Good Agricultural Practices, to ensure sufficiently high levels of residues, The subsequent processing conditions were established to correspond as close as possible to the actual conditions that are normally used in industrial practice. The effects of household and industrial processing on the levels of the six pesticide residues and eight associated degradation products were quantified. The washing step allowed decreasing the concentration of residues for all pesticides up to ~ 90%. It was the most effective step to remove pesticide residues from carrots. The second process, peeling, results in a reduction comparable to washing. The blanching step, combining heat with a large quantity of water, enhanced the elimination of residues (maximum 50%). After cutting and washing, the residual concentrations were below 5 ppb. However it was observed that the level of pesticide residues was not reduced by microwave cooking. The pesticide residues remaining after previous processing, except difenoconazole, were decreased by sterilization. The cumulative processes allowed the elimination of minimum 90% of pesticide residues. Degradation products, investigated in this study, were not detected.
