Fruits and vegetables have nutritional value, but they can also be source of toxic contaminants such as pesticide residues. The aim of this study was to estimate the contamination level of pesticide residues in summer season fruits and vegetables. The constant use of pesticides contaminated fruits...

Pesticide application aimed at pest regulation in agricultural field can have unintended differential and negative impacts on non-target species. Therefore, its continuous and uncontrolled usage can disturb the balance of agricultural ecosystem. The objective of the present study was to...

The behavior of lambda-cyhalothrin, thiamethoxam and chlorantraniliprole residues in brinjal crop was examined with Reverse Phase- High Performance Liquid Chromatography (RP-HPLC) using the modified QuEChERS method. As brinjal is consumed without peeling, it is important to study the pesticide...

This study aimed to investigate the residual characteristics of pesticides drifted by unmanned aerial spray according to buffer strip, windbreak, and morphological characteristics of non-target crops, suggest prevention for drift reduction, and finally conduct a risk analysis on pesticides...

In accordance with Article 31 of Regulation (EC) No 178/2002, the European Commission mandated EFSA to issue a statement concerning confirmatory data that were not submitted by the set deadline by the applicant following Article 12 MRL reviews under Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 for the following...

Under European Union legislation (Article 32, Regulation (EC) No 396/2005), EFSA is to provide an annual report assessing the pesticide residue levels in foods on the European market. In 2021, 96.1% of the overall 87,863 samples analysed fell below the maximum residue level (MRL), 3.9% exceeded...

In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, the applicant Nissan Chemical Europe SAS submitted a request to the competent national authority in the Czech Republic to modify the existing maximum residue levels (MRLs) in pome fruits and to evaluate the confirmatory data identified in ...

An effective and sensitive analytical method was developed to quantify the most common pesticide residues (difenoconazole, dimethoate, pymetrozine, and chlorantraniliprole) used for brinjal cultivation in Bangladesh. The quantification of the analytes was done using liquid chromatography-tandem...

In comparison to an open field, greenhouses utilize much more pesticides. The non-occupational exposure risk caused by pesticide drift is unknown. In this study, within 8 months (from March 2018 to October 2018), air samples were collected from indoor and outdoor houses and public areas near...

The applicant Syngenta Crop Protection AG submitted a request to the competent national authority in Germany to evaluate the confirmatory data that were identified for penconazole in the framework of the maximum residue level (MRL) review under Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 as not...
