AB  - Samples of vegetables and cereals from Egypt were screened for 113 pesticides, of 
      which 68 were quantified, using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS) with 
      limits of detection (LODs) ranging from 0.02 to 1.9 microg kg(-)(1). In addition, the 
      residues of 17 non-dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls (NDL-PCBs) were measured 
      in samples of animal origin (meat, dairy products and seafood) using 
      high-resolution gas chromatography (HRGC)/high-resolution mass spectroscopy 
      (HRMS). None of the cereal samples and 72.7% of the vegetables contained any 
      detectable levels of the pesticides. Detectable residues, not exceeding the 
      current European Union maximum residue limits (MRLs) were found in 27.3% of 
      vegetables. The estimated daily intake for detected pesticides was well below 
      their corresponding acceptable daily intake (ADI), with exposure ranges between 
      0.002% of the ADI for profenofos and 0.2% of the ADI for lambda-cyhalothrin. The 
      sum concentration of 17 PCBs congeners varied between 2.5 and 322 ng g(-)(1) fat, 
      corresponding to 1.7-216 ng g(-)(1) fat for the seven indicator PCBs. The highest 
      values were measured in seafood, the lowest in dairy products. Hexa-CB 153, 138 
      and hepta-CB180 were the congeners with the highest contribution. PCBs congener 
      profiles found in most of the samples were consistent with the expected profile 
      for Aroclor 1260 and 1262. PCBs' contamination levels reported in this paper were 
      many times lower than in developed countries, except for chicken samples. Also, 
      the dietary intake of seven indicator PCBs due to the consumption of food of 
      animal origin (4.84 ng kg(-)(1) body weight day(-)(1)) from Ismailia city, Egypt, is 
      several times lower than the intake in European Union countries.
