AB  - The aim of the present study was to assess the level of pesticide residues in 
      vegetables in the Almaty Region of Kazakhstan and to determine the potential 
      health risks associated with the exposures to these pesticides. A total of 82 
      samples of cucumbers and tomatoes from top agro-based market and greenhouses were 
      analysed using a gas chromatography-micro electron capture 
      detector/nitrogen-phosphorous detector (GC-muECD/NPD), a multiresidue method to 
      analyse 184 different pesticide types. The results indicated that more than half 
      of samples (59 %) contained 29 pesticides, in which 10 are not registered in 
      Kazakhstan, ranging from 0.01 to 0.88 mg kg(-1), and 28 % contained pesticide 
      residues above maximum residue levels (MRLs). The estimated daily intakes (EDIs) 
      ranged from 0.01 % of the acceptable daily intake (ADI) for pyrimethanil to 12.05 
      % of the ADI for lambda-cyhalothrin. The most critical commodity is triazophos 
      and flusilazole in tomatoes, contributing 70.8 and 42.5 % to the acute hazard 
      index (aHI). The results provided important information on the current pesticide 
      contamination status of two commonly consumed vegetables and pointed an urgent 
      need to control the use of plant protection products applied, especially 
      potentially persistent pesticides, such as endosulfan and dicofol. These results 
      also show that the detected pesticides may be considered a public health problem.
