“…Erdogrul (2007) has determined levels of pesticides in nine honey samples from Kahramanmaraş, and Kolonkaya et al (2001) analyzed organochlorine pesticide residues in 16 honeys and eight pollen samples from Turkey. Various researchers have reported pesticide residues in honey from different countries (Al-Rıfai and Akeel 1997;Blasco et al 2003Blasco et al , 2004Driss et al 1994;Herrera et al 2005;Jan and Cerne 1993;Muino and Lozano 1991), but reported investigations concerning the determination of residues of various pesticides in honey are very limited in Turkey. The purpose of this study is to determine the levels of some organochlorine pesticides residues in 109 honey samples from Konya, an important apiculture center in Turkey.…”

In this study, 24 organochlorine pesticide residues in 109 different honey samples collected from stores and open markets in Konya, Turkey were analyzed by gas chromatography-electron capture detection. Aldrin, cis-chlordane, trans-chlordane, oxy-chlordane, 2,4(')-DDE, and 4,4(')-DDE were found in all honey samples. The mean value was 0.0540 microg g(-1) for oxy-chlordane. In the 55 samples of 109, levels of organochlorine pesticide residues of oxy-chlordane were determined as higher than those of Turkish Alimentarius Codex maximum residual limits (MRLs). Other organochlorine pesticide residues also exceeded MRLs except for cis-heptachlor epoxide and alpha-hexachlorocyclohexane. Since all of the honey samples are found contaminated and most of these samples exceeded MRLs, a control of organochlorine pesticide residues in honey is necessary for consumer health.

“…Depending on the regulation of each country and beekeepers practices, the most often detected acaricides are bromopropylate, coumaphos, and fluvalinate. Only a few studies have been focussed on pesticides used for crop protection and introduced into hives by contaminated bees and wax (14,26,27). Most samples analyzed in Jordan during 1995 contained residues of organochlorine pesticides such as R-HCH, -HCH, and lindane, and only some of them were contaminated by organophosphorus pesticides.…”

“…However, this technique has the disadvantage of being unable to handle large sample volumes. Both, LLE (14)(15)(16) and SPE (17)(18)(19) have been selected in various multiresidue methods for extracting organochlorine, organophosphorus, carbamate, and pyrethroid pesticides in honey.…”

Fifty samples of honey collected from local markets of Portugal and Spain during year 2002 were analyzed for 42 organochlorine, carbamate, and organophosphorus pesticide residues. An analytical procedure based on solid-phase extraction with octadecyl sorbent followed by gas chromatographymass spectrometry (GC-MS), for organochlorines, and by liquid chromatography-atmospheric pressure chemical ionization-mass spectrometry (LC-APCI-MS), for organophosphorus and carbamates, has been developed. Recoveries of spiked samples ranged from 73 to 98%, except for dimethoate (40%), with relative standard deviations from 3 to16% in terms of repeatability, and from 6 to 19% in terms of reproducibility. Limits of quantification were from 0.003 to 0.1 mg kg -1 . Most of the pesticides found in honey were organochlorines. Among them, γ-HCH was the most frequently detected in 50% of the samples, followed by HCB in 32% of the samples and the other isomers of HCH (R-HCH and -HCH) in 28 and 26% of the samples, respectively. Residues of DDT and their metabolites were detected in 20% of the samples. Of the studied carbamates, both methiocarb and carbofuran were detected in 10% of the samples, pirimicarb in 4% and carbaryl in 2%. The only organophosphorus pesticides found were heptenophos in 16%, methidathion in 4%, and parathion methyl in 2% of honey samples. Results indicate that Portuguese honeys were more contaminated than Spanish ones. However, honey consumers of both countries should not be concerned about the amounts of pesticide residues found in honeys available on the market.

“…The profile of concentration medians followed the order of p,p¢-DDE > p,p¢-DDT > p,p¢-DDD > HCB>o,p¢-DDE > Dieldrin > b-HCH > c-HCH. Our results showed that almost all screened lactating mothers contained p,p¢-DDE and HCB residues in their (Sabbah et al 1987) and other biological matrixes: falcon eggs and honey (Driss and Bouguerra 1987;Driss et al 1994) and human blood (Sabbah et al 1987). This finding indicates that pollution sources by DDE and HCB are still present in Tunisia.…”

The levels of 13 organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) were measured in breast milk from 87 Tunisian mothers throughout their lactation periods. Breast milk levels of OCP residues were determined using a validated methodology that included capillary column gas chromatography with electron-capture detection. All samples contained detectable residues of p,p'-DDE (2.421 mg/kg milk fat) and HCB (0.260 mg/kg milk fat). The other OCP residues were detected in the following order of frequency: Dieldrin 38%, beta-HCH 22.9% and gamma-HCH 6.8%. It was made an attempt to point out the relationship between some factors and the transfer of OCP residues into breast milk. In this study we found that concentrations of OCPs increased with mothers' age, these levels decreased with the number of children.
