AB  - Pesticides are dangerous chemicals that can harm to people and the environment 
      when applied inappropriately or in excess. In this research, various pesticide 
      residues were investigated in 48 pepper samples using liquid 
      chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). All samples were collected 
      randomly in two periods of time (September and December) from markets and 
      greengrocers in four provinces (Siirt, Mardin, Diyarbakir, and Batman). 
      Considering the means of the first and second periods, diclofop-methyl had the 
      highest concentration of 29.4 +/- 7.7 microg kg(-1), and diazinon had the lowest of 
      21.1 +/- 4.6 microg kg(-1). Based on the maximum residue limits (MRLs) of pesticides 
      specified in the Turkish Food Codex, pyrimethanil, bupirimate, and 
      diclofop-methyl were found to be below the maximum acceptable residue limit, 
      while pyridaphention, dinoseb, diazinon, and pirimiphos-methyl were found to be 
      above the limit. Thus, the current study demonstrated the potential of LC-MS/MS 
      as a crucial technique for accurate measurements and confirmations of pesticides 
      in different pepper varieties.
