AB  - The present study was initiated with the purpose to evaluate possible health 
      risks associated with pesticide residues through consumption of vegetables and 
      fruits by general population of Gujarat, India. A total of 1075 samples 
      comprising of twelve different varieties of commonly consumed food commodities 
      were collected from twenty-five divergent locations in Gujarat. The collected 
      samples were extracted using QuEChERS method and analyzed for the presence of 
      organophosphorus (OPs), organochlorine (OCs) and synthetic pyrethroids (SPs) 
      pesticides using UHPLC-HR/MS, GC-muECD and GC-MS/SIM. The results indicated that 
      2.3% of vegetable and fruit samples showed the presence of pesticide residues 
      exceeding maximum residue limits (MRLs). The results suggested that, detected 
      residue levels in samples were within safe limits and their consumption will not 
      pose any significant health risk to human. The outcomes present significant 
      information regarding the status of vegetable and fruit contamination and pointed 
      out the prerequisite for further studies with reference to monitoring of 
      pesticides and other toxic contaminants in different samples for assessing 
      cumulative health risk.
