Abstract
The present study planned to investigate the following points: Monitoring of pesticides Residue in some vegetables and leafy vegetables in Egyptian markets. Estimated dietary intake for chronic risk for most frequently pesticides, which were detected in the studied vegetables. Assessment safety level of Acetamiprid in rats. A total of 578 samples of different commodities as pepper, cucumber, spinach, water cress, green dill, green coriander and green parsley were collected from six Egyptian local markets located in six governorates (Great Cairo, Fayoum, Gharbia, Monufia, Ismailia, and Sharkiya) during 2012 and 1006 samples during 2013. Samples were analyzed for detection of 450 pesticides. The MRLs of Codex Alimentarius were used for comparison when those limits were available. In the absence of Codex MRLs, European limits were used data shows there is no pesticide residues were detected in 124 samples (21.45%), on the other hand, a total number of 454 samples (78.55%) had detectable pesticide residues, 230 samples (50.66%) out of 454 samples exceeding the MRLs during 2012 and No pesticide residues were detected in 115 samples (11.43%), on the other hand, a total number of 891 samples 88.57%) had detectable pesticide residues, 304 samples (34.12%) out of 891samples exceeding the MRLs during 2013. Data showed the estimated average daily intake (EDI) and the hazard index (HI) for most frequently detected pesticide residues (the ratio of EDI to ADI) in the studied vegetables during 2012 and 2013. The HI values of pervious detected pesticides in samples were not exceeded accepted value (100%) that refers to the consuming of studied commodities is considered a negligible risk to the consumers
