AB  - The purpose of this study was to investigate pesticide residues in fruits and 
      vegetables from the Aegean region of Turkey. A total of 1423 samples of fresh 
      fruit and vegetables were collected from 2010 to 2012. The samples were analysed 
      to determine the concentrations of 186 pesticide residues. The analyses utilized 
      ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry 
      (UPLC/MS/MS) and gas chromatography with an electron capture detector (GC-ECD) 
      confirmed by gas chromatography with mass spectrometry (GC-MS) after a 
      multi-residue extraction procedure (the QuEChERS method). The results were 
      evaluated according to maximum residue limits (MRLs) for each commodity and 
      pesticide by Turkish Regulation. All pomegranate, cauliflower and cabbage samples 
      were pesticides-free. A total of 754 samples contained detectable residues at or 
      below MRLs, and 48 (8.4%) of the fruit samples and 83 (9.8%) of the vegetable 
      samples contained pesticide residues above MRLs. MRL values were most often 
      exceeded in arugula, cucumber, lemon, and grape commodities. All detected 
      pesticides in apricot, carrot, kiwifruit and leek were below the MRLs. 
      Acetamiprid, chlorpyriphos and carbendazim were the most detected pesticide 
      residues.
