DIETARY RISK ASSESSMENT OF PESTICIDE RESIDUES IN BANANAS
In this work, eight pesticides: azinphos-ethyl, carbofuran, chlorfenvinphos, chlorpyriphos, metazachlor, methoxychlor, propham and sulfotep were analyzed in 10 banana samples taken from the market of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Analyses were carried out by the QuEChERS approach, using gas chromatography with mass spectrometry detection (GC-MS). To determine the risk, acute exposure assessment was performed according on International Estimation of Short Term Intake (IESTI) equation. In acute quantitative risk assessment, estimated dietary exposure was compared with the relevant toxicological reference values Acute Reference Dose (ARfD).
