AB  - Seven pesticides, profenofos, metalaxyl, lambda-cyhalothrin, 4,4'-DDT, 4,4'-DDE, and 
      alpha- and beta-endosulfan, were determined in vegetables (tomato, onion) from 20 
      locations and surface waters from 12 locations in the Central Rift Valley (CRV) 
      of Ethiopia. Quick, Easy, Cheap, Effective, Rugged, and Safe (QuEChERS) and solid 
      phase extraction (SPE) methods were used for the vegetables and water, 
      respectively. In 2.5% of the tomato samples, profenofos was detected above 
      European maximum residue limits (MRLs), in 12.5% of the samples metalaxyl, and in 
      2.5% alpha- and beta-endosulfan. In 5% of the onion samples, profenofos was detected 
      above European MRLs, in 7.5% of the onion samples metalaxyl, and in 5% 
      lambda-cyhalothrin. In surface water, profenofos was detected at the highest 
      concentration of 2300 mug/L in the Bulbula River, 890 mug/L near the agricultural 
      land north of Lake Ziway (ANLZ-1), 1700 mug/L in the floriculture effluent (FE-1), 
      and 900 mug/L in tap water at the Batu Drinking Water (BDW) supply. These results 
      show that the levels of pesticides are in several cases substantially elevated, 
      and emphasize the need of regular pesticide monitoring programs for surface 
      waters and vegetables in the Ethiopian CRV.
