AB  - The frequent occurrence of pesticide residues in herbal materials was indicated 
      by previous studies. In this study, the concentration of some of the 
      organophosphorus pesticides including parathion, malathion, diazinon and 
      pirimiphos methyl in different kinds of medicinal plants were determined. The 
      samples were collected randomly from ten local markets of different areas of 
      Iran. At the detection limit of 0.5 ng g-1, parathion and pirimiphos methyl were 
      not detected in any of the samples. Some amounts of malathion and diazinon were 
      found in Zataria, Matricaria chamomile, Spearmint and Cumin Seed samples while, 
      the concentrations of target organophosphorus pesticides in Borage samples were 
      below the detection limits of the methods which could be a result of intensive 
      transformation of organophosphorus pesticides by Borage. In addition the 
      organophosphorus pesticides were detected in all of the samples below the maximum 
      residue levels (MRLs) proposed by the international organizations.
