      benzimidazole residues.

AB  - Benzimidazoles are veterinary drugs widely used against endoparasites in 
      food-producing animals. Albendazole (ABZ), a benzimidazole, is believed to cause 
      embryotoxicity, teratogenicity and other adverse health effects. This study 
      assessed the residue levels of ABZ and its two major metabolites, the sulfoxide 
      (ABZ-SO) and sulfone (ABZ-SO2), in raw milk samples collected from farms in 
      southern Greece during the spring and autumn of 2008. Analysis was performed by 
      HPLC using a diode array detector. A total of 16% of the 89 samples examined were 
      positive for ABZ metabolites in the range 11-70 ng ml(-1), but the parent 
      compound was not detected in any sample. A geographical variation in positive 
      samples was observed, but season or milk type (ovine, bovine, goat) was unrelated 
      to the presence of residues. Considering the lipophilic character of these 
      substances and the possibility of higher concentrations in dairy foods, we 
      suggest greater controlled usage of these drugs.
