TI  - Pesticides and Environmental Contaminants in Organic Honeys According to Their 
      Different Productive Areas toward Food Safety Protection.

AB  - Monitoring contaminant residues in honey helps to avoid risks to human health, as 
      it is a natural product widely consumed in all population groups, including the 
      most vulnerable, such as children and the elderly. This is important for organic 
      honey production that may be negatively influenced by geographical area 
      pollution. Considering the importance of collecting data on the occurrence of 
      various xenobiotics in different geographical areas, this study aimed to 
      investigate the presence of contaminant residues (persistent organic pollutants 
      (POPs) and pesticides, including glyphosate and metabolites) in organic honey 
      samples from different production areas using different analytical methods, in 
      order to confirm their incidence and possible impact on the food safety traits of 
      organic production. Regarding POPs, traces of benzofluoroanthene and chrysene 
      were detected in honey from intensive orchards and arable lands. Traces of all 
      polychlorobiphenyl (PCB) congeners were detected at different percentages in 
      almost all of the samples, regardless of the origin area. Traces of 
      polybromodiphenylethers (PBDE 28, 33, and 47) were found in different percentages 
      of samples from all of the geographical areas examined. Traces of organochlorines 
      (OCs) and organophosphates (OPs) were identified in honey samples belonging to 
      all of the geographical areas. No glyphosate, glufosinate, and 
      aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA) residues were detected.
