TI  - Pesticide residues in stone fruits from the south-eastern region of Poland in 
      2012-2104.
PG  - 211-6
AB  - BACKGROUND: Peaches, sour cherries, nectarines, apricots, plums and cherries are 
      fruit commonly known as "stone fruit". Their nutritional properties namely, 
      vitamins, minerals, fiber and numerous microelements, make them a very important 
      component of human diet. As fruit trees can be attacked by numerous diseases and 
      pests, chemical protection of these crops is used. Therefore, it is important 
      that the relevant governmental agencies or institutions ensure correct 
      application of pesticides. OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to evaluate the 
      occurrence of pesticide residues in stone fruits south-eastern region of Poland 
      in 2012-2014 in order to provide data to estimate health risk to consumers. 
      MATERIAL AND METHODS: Validated analytical methods based on liquid / liquid 
      extraction coupled with gas chromatography with electron capture and nitrogen 
      phosphorus detection (GC-ECD/NPD) and spectrophotometry (dithiocarbamates 
      residues) were used for the analysis. 92 samples of stone fruits were tested for 
      the presence of pesticide residues. RESULTS: 13 of all samples (14%) contained 
      pesticide residues. 7 active substances were detected, including 5 fungicides: 
      boscalide, bupirimate, difenoconazole, dithiocarbamates and captan, and 2 
      insecticides: cypermethrin and pirimicarb. In the analysed samples, the use of 
      not recommended plant protection products in orchard crops were found. However, 
      neither maximum residue levels (MRLs) recommended by the Regulation (EC) No 
      396/2005 were exceeded nor pesticides being unapproved by the Regulation (EC) No 
      1107/2009 detected in the analysed samples. CONCLUSIONS: Lack of plant protection 
      products for control specific diseases or pests in crops results in the use of 
      formulations not recommended for use in certain orchard crops. On a basis of 
      results reported in previous years it can be concluded that occurrence of 
      pesticide residues in stone fruit samples dropped significantly.
