PG  - 948-55
AB  - Organophosphorus, dithiocarbamates, and some synthetic pyrethroids pesticides, 
      which are commonly used in Egypt for pest control, were monitored, as well as 
      persistent organochlorines, which had been prohibited from use several years ago. 
      Fruit and vegetable samples (397) were collected from 8 local markets and 
      examined for 52 pesticides. Of all analyzed samples, 42.8% contained detectable 
      residues, of which 1.76% exceeded their maximum residue limits (MRLs). The rates 
      of contamination with the different pesticides were 0-86%. However, violation 
      rates among contaminated products were very low, ranging from 0 to 4.6%. In 
      general, organochlorine pesticide residues were not detected in most samples. 
      Dithiocarbamate residues were found in 70.4% of 98 samples analyzed for 
      dithiocarbamates, but only one grape sample had residues exceeding the MRL 
      established by the Codex Committee on Pesticide Residues.
