Abstract

This study analysed pesticide residues in cauliflower (Brassica oleracea botrytis) and bitter gourd (Momordica charantia), two widely consumed vegetables in Bangladesh, and assessed the associated human health risks. Vegetables were analysed using a modified QuEChERS extraction, followed by gas chromatography with flame thermionic and electron capture detectors. Results showed that in 36.7% of the samples pesticide residues were detected, 90.9% of which exceeding the MRLs of the European Commission, so highlighting serious food safety concerns. Multiple residues were detected in some samples, with chlorpyrifos being the most common present, followed by diazinon, dimethoate and quinalphos. Human health risks, calculated by estimated daily intake and hazard index, indicated potential non-carcinogenic risks from the present pesticides. This study may assist policymakers and authorities in developing strategies for safe vegetable production and quality monitoring to ensure food safety.

孟加拉国广泛食用蔬菜中的农药及其健康风险。

本研究分析了孟加拉国两种广泛食用的蔬菜--花椰菜（Brassica oleracea botrytis）和苦瓜（Momordica charantia）中的农药残留，并评估了相关的人类健康风险。采用改良的 QuEChERS 萃取法对蔬菜进行分析，然后用火焰热释电和电子捕获检测器进行气相色谱分析。结果表明，在 36.7% 的样本中检测到了农药残留，其中 90.9% 的残留超过了欧盟委员会的最高残留限量，这凸显了严重的食品安全问题。一些样本中检测到多种残留物，其中毒死蜱最常见，其次是二嗪农、乐果和喹硫磷。根据估计的日摄入量和危害指数计算得出的人类健康风险表明，目前的杀虫剂具有潜在的非致癌风险。这项研究可能有助于决策者和当局制定蔬菜安全生产和质量监测战略，以确保食品安全。

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.
