      fish in a northern metropolis of China.

AB  - With growing concerns about food safety and stricter national standards in China, 
      attention has focused on vegetables and fish as they are an important part of the 
      Chinese daily diet, and pesticide residues can accumulate in these foodstuffs. 
      The local consumption habits of vegetables and fish were determined using 
      questionnaires distributed in the major regions of the northern metropolis. Then, 
      the samples of fruit-like vegetables, leafy and root vegetables, and five species 
      of fish (freshwater and marine) were collected from supermarkets and traditional 
      farmers' markets in the city. The concentrations and profiles of pesticide 
      residues (hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH), dichlorodiphenyl trichloroethane (DDT), 
      and endosulfan) in the samples were determined and compared. For the vegetables, 
      the concentration ranges of SigmaDDT, SigmaHCH, and Sigmaendosulfan were not detectable (ND) 
      to 10.4 ng/g fresh weight (f.w.), ND to 58.8 ng/g f.w., and ND to 63.9 ng/g f.w., 
      respectively. For the fish samples, the corresponding values were 0.77-25.0 ng/g 
      f.w., 0.02-1.42 ng/g f.w., and 1.22-22.1 ng/g f.w., respectively. Only one celery 
      sample exceeded the maximum residue limits (MRLs) of HCH residues set by Chinese 
      regulations (GB2763-2014). The estimated daily intakes (EDIs) and hazard ratios 
      (HRs) were calculated using data from the recently published Exposure Factors 
      Handbook for the Chinese Population. The EDIs and HRs showed that the levels of 
      organochlorine pesticide (OCP) residues in vegetables and fish in this area are 
      safe.
