AB  - The use of pesticides in agricultural sectors is rising due to the growing demand 
      for food in the world, but the presence of pesticide residues in agricultural 
      commodities has become a major health concern for consumers and is associated 
      with problems of food safety. Thus, the present study determined pesticide 
      residues (17 organochlorine, 5 pyrethroid and 3 organophosphate) in 77 fish feed, 
      112 fish and 135 vegetables samples (total of 324) from the different locations 
      in Bangladesh, using quick easy cheap effective rugged and safe (QuEChERS) 
      extraction followed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis. The 
      77 fish feed samples analyzed with this method appeared to be free of pyrethroid 
      pesticide residues. Organochlorine pesticide residues aldrin (0.03 +/- 0.01 mg/kg) 
      and pyrethroid pesticide residues permethrin (0.08 +/- 0.01 mg/kg) were detected in 
      fish samples of catla (Catla catla) from Rajshahi Durgapur and bata (Labeo bata) 
      from Satkhira Kaligonj, respectively. Among 135 vegetable samples (country bean, 
      green chili, tomato, eggplants and red amaranth), 27.4% were found positive for 
      organophosphate pesticide residues of which 89.2% exceeded maximum residue limits 
      (MRLs) set by the Codex Alimentarius Commission. The study revealed that few fish 
      (catla and bata) but the majority of vegetable samples tested positive for 
      pesticide residues exceeding MRLs. Finally, the study suggests that an effective 
      management strategy is needed for strict regulation and regular monitoring of 
      pesticides in fish feed, fish and vegetables to make aware the farmers and 
      consumers about the harmful effect of pesticides on human health.
