Monitoring contaminant residues in honey helps to avoid risks to human health, as it is a natural product widely consumed in all population groups, including the most vulnerable, such as children and the elderly. This is important for organic honey production that may be negatively influenced by geographical area pollution. Considering the importance of collecting data on the occurrence of various xenobiotics in different geographical areas, this study aimed to investigate the presence of contaminant residues (persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and pesticides, including glyphosate and metabolites) in organic honey samples from different production areas using different analytical methods, in order to confirm their incidence and possible impact on the food safety traits of organic production. Regarding POPs, traces of benzofluoroanthene and chrysene were detected in honey from intensive orchards and arable lands. Traces of all polychlorobiphenyl (PCB) congeners were detected at different percentages in almost all of the samples, regardless of the origin area. Traces of polybromodiphenylethers (PBDE 28, 33, and 47) were found in different percentages of samples from all of the geographical areas examined. Traces of organochlorines (OCs) and organophosphates (OPs) were identified in honey samples belonging to all of the geographical areas. No glyphosate, glufosinate, and aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA) residues were detected.
监测蜂蜜中的污染物残留有助于避免对人类健康造成风险，因为蜂蜜是一种在所有人群中广泛消费的天然产品，包括儿童和老年人等最脆弱的群体。这对于可能受到地理区域污染负面影响的有机蜂蜜生产来说很重要。考虑到收集不同地理区域各种外来化合物出现情况数据的重要性，本研究旨在使用不同分析方法调查来自不同生产区域的有机蜂蜜样本中污染物残留（持久性有机污染物（POPs）和农药，包括草甘膦及其代谢物）的存在情况，以确认它们的发生率以及对有机生产食品安全特性的可能影响。关于持久性有机污染物，在集约化果园和耕地上的蜂蜜中检测到了苯并荧蒽和屈的痕迹。几乎所有样本中都检测到了不同比例的所有多氯联苯（PCB）同系物痕迹，无论其产地如何。在所检测的所有地理区域的不同比例样本中都发现了多溴二苯醚（PBDE 28、33和47）的痕迹。在所有地理区域的蜂蜜样本中都鉴定出了有机氯（OCs）和有机磷（OPs）的痕迹。未检测到草甘膦、草铵膦和氨甲基膦酸（AMPA）残留。
