AB  - BACKGROUND: Despite the importance of beans as food, few studies are conducted to 
      control their contamination by persistent organic pollutants (POPs), compounds of 
      great importance because of their toxicity and tendency to accumulate in food 
      chains. In order to evaluate the human exposure to POPs by the consumption of 
      beans a monitoring programme was conducted on polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons 
      (PAHs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) 
      residues in samples coming from Italy, Mexico, India, Japan, Ghana and Ivory 
      Coast. All beans were extracted with an accelerated solvents extractor in 
      triplicate; the clean-up step was done with a Florisil column; identification and 
      quantification was carried out using a TSQ Quantum XLS Ultra GC-MS/MS in selected 
      reaction monitoring mode. RESULTS: Results revealed concentrations of  summation operatorPAHs 
      ranged from 7.31 microg kg(-1) to 686 microg kg(-1) ,  summation operatorPCBs between 1.85 microg kg(-1) and 
      43.1 microg kg(-1) and  summation operatorOCPs ranged from 1.37 microg kg(-1) to 71.8 microg kg(-1) . 
      CONCLUSION: Our results showed that beans coming from Ivory Coast are the most 
      exposed to the risk of contamination by all the pollutants investigated. (c) 2016
