AB  - The aim of this study was to investigate the pesticide residues in market 
      vegetables in Shaanxi Province of China. The concentrations of 33 pesticides were 
      determined by gas chromatography (GC) in 285 samples. Ten organophosphorus 
      pesticides (OPs) were found in concentrations ranging from 0.004 to 0.257 mg/kg. 
      The mean levels of omethoate, phorate, chlorpyrifos, methidathion, ethoprophos in 
      vegetables exceeded the maximum residue limits (MRLs) allowed by the Ministry of 
      Health, of China. Other detectable OP pesticide residues levels were below their 
      MRLs. Dicofol were detectable in green pepper and chives samples. Five pyrethroid 
      pesticides (PYRs) were detectable in vegetable samples respectively. The results 
      provide useful information on the current contamination status of a key 
      agricultural area in China, and point to the need for urgent action to control 
      the excessive use of some chemicals.
