Abstract

Levels of 237 pesticides were assessed in 1063 fruit and vegetable samples from 12 São Paulo markets spanning the period May 2015 to December 2022. The QuEChERS method was employed for extraction, followed by GC-MS/MS and LC-MS/MS analysis. Findings indicated that 30% of the samples contained residues below the Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs), while 6% exceeded these. Additionally, 23% exhibited excessive residues for their respective crops and 40% had no detectable residues. Health risk evaluation focused on tomatoes, cabbage and oranges, revealing exposure within 0.002-0.9% of the Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI), indicating no chronic risks. However, pyraclostrobin in orange presented a potential acute risk for adults (112%). These results underscore the necessity for continuous monitoring of pesticide residues in fruits and vegetables to safeguard consumer health, especially considering the significant levels of consumption.

巴西蔬菜和水果中的农药及风险评估。

在 2015 年 5 月至 2022 年 12 月期间，对来自圣保罗 12 个市场的 1063 份水果和蔬菜样本中 237 种农药的含量进行了评估。采用 QuEChERS 方法进行提取，然后进行 GC-MS/MS 和 LC-MS/MS 分析。研究结果表明，30% 的样品中残留量低于最高残留限量 (MRL)，6% 的样品中残留量超过了最高残留限量。此外，23%的样品中残留物超标，40%的样品中未检测到残留物。健康风险评估的重点是西红柿、卷心菜和橘子，结果显示暴露量在每日允许摄入量（ADI）的 0.002-0.9% 范围内，表明没有慢性风险。不过，橘子中的吡唑醚菌酯对成人有潜在的急性风险（112%）。这些结果表明，有必要对水果和蔬菜中的农药残留进行持续监测，以保障消费者的健康，特别是考虑到水果和蔬菜的消费量很大。

期刊介绍： Food Additives & Contaminants: Part B publishes surveillance data indicating the presence and levels of occurrence of designated food additives, residues and contaminants in foods, food supplements and animal feed. Data using validated methods must meet stipulated quality standards to be acceptable and must be presented in a prescribed format for subsequent data-handling. Food Additives & Contaminants: Part B restricts its scope to include certain classes of food additives, residues and contaminants. This is based on a goal of covering those areas where there is a need to record surveillance data for the purposes of exposure and risk assessment. The scope is initially restricted to: Additives - food colours, artificial sweeteners, and preservatives; Residues – veterinary drug and pesticide residues; Contaminants – metals, mycotoxins, phycotoxins, plant toxins, nitrate/nitrite, PCDDs/PCFDs, PCBs, PAHs, acrylamide, 3-MPCD and contaminants derived from food packaging. Readership: The readership includes scientists involved in all aspects of food safety and quality and particularly those involved in monitoring human exposure to chemicals from the diet. Papers reporting surveillance data in areas other than the above should be submitted to Part A . The scope of Part B will be expanded from time-to-time to ensure inclusion of new areas of concern.
