A systematic long-term study was conducted to monitor the pesticide residues in commercially important vegetables that are produced, consumed, and exported from India. Residues of 155 commonly used pesticides were determined in 966 samples of cabbage, green chilli, and okra grown in North and North-Western part of India. The residues were extracted using modified Quick, Easy, Cheap, Effective, Rugged, and Safe (QuEChERS) method and quantified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and liquid chromatography tandem-mass spectrometry. Acetamiprid, cypermethrin, imidacloprid, metalaxyl, and profenofos were the most frequently detected pesticides. No pesticide was detected in 94.4% cabbage, 34.5% green chilli, and 61% okra samples. The chronic risk assessment due to the dietary exposure of the pesticides was evaluated for Indian adult and child. The results suggested that the detected residue levels in vegetables were within safe limits and their consumption will not pose any dietary risk to the consumers.
对印度生产、消费和出口的重要商业蔬菜中的农药残留进行了系统的长期监测。在印度北部和西北部种植的 966 份白菜、青椒和秋葵样本中，检测了 155 种常用农药的残留量。使用改良的快速、简便、廉价、有效、坚固和安全（QuEChERS）方法提取残留，并用气相色谱-质谱法和液相色谱-串联质谱法进行定量。乙酰甲胺磷、氯氰菊酯、噻虫嗪、甲霜灵和丙溴磷是最常检测到的农药。94.4%的白菜、34.5%的青椒和 61%的秋葵样本中未检测到农药。对印度成年人和儿童因食用这些农药而产生的慢性风险进行了评估。结果表明，蔬菜中的残留水平在安全范围内，食用这些蔬菜不会对消费者造成任何饮食风险。
