The findings revealed that some pesticide residues exceeded safety limits in tomatoes and onions. In tomatoes, α-endosulfan (0.58 mg/kg), β-BHC (beta-benzene hexachloride) (0.04 mg/kg), heptachlor (0.02 mg/kg), and Malathion (0.03 mg/kg) surpassed safety limits.

This study evaluates the residue levels of select pesticides used on tomato crops in Ghana that are likely to have accumulated in the tomatoes during application.

Seven pesticides, profenofos, metalaxyl, λ-cyhalothrin, 4,4′-DDT, 4,4′-DDE, and α- and β-endosulfan, were determined in vegetables (tomato, onion) from 20 locations and surface waters from...

This review summarizes the occurrence, distributions, sources, and trends of OCPs in seven environmental matrices (atmosphere, water, sediments, soils, biota, human fluids and food products) in Africa.

The predominant pesticide residues found in tomatoes were α -endosulfan (0.58 mg/kg), β -BHC (0.04 mg/kg), heptachlor (0.02 mg/kg), and malathion (0.03 mg/kg), all of which were above the safety limits.

In this study, an analytical method for quantifying OCPs in water was developed and evaluated. Here, the range of linearity, reproducibility, uncertainty, specificity, method detection limits (MDL), and special emphasis on detection and quantitation limits were assessed.

In this study proficiency testing (PT) scheme on determination of organochlorine pesticides in tomato which is organized by TUBITAK National Metrology Institute (UME), is evaluated.

A quick, sensitive, and reproducible analytical method for the determination of 77 multiclass pesticides and their metabolites in Capsicum and tomato by gas and liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry was standardized and validated.

This study quantified OCP residues and assessed associated human exposure and risk in irrigated and non-irrigated khat farmlands in Wondogenet District, Ethiopia.

Below is a list of pesticides that have been evaluated by the Joint FAO/WHO Meeting on Pesticide Residues (JMPR) and the Joint FAO/WHO Meeting on Pesticide Specifications (JMPS).
