Abstract: During the ninth year of the Total Diet Study, pesticide residues remained at the relatively low levels reported previously. Thirty market baskets were collected in 30 cities which ranged in population from less than 50,000 to 1,000,000 or more. Averages and ranges of residues found are reported for the period August 1972 through July 1973 by food class. Lead, selenium, and zinc data are included for the first time. During this period, the individual items used in making up the dairy and meat composites in four market baskets were analyzed for pesticides and the results are included. Results of recovery studies within various classes of residues are also presented.

H. Goebel,S. Gorbach,W. Knauf,R. H. Rimpau,H. Huttenbach +4 more
- 09 Jun 1982
TL;DR: Endosulfan is an insecticide possessing a relatively broad spectrum of activity and differs from the chlorinated hydrocarbons of the cyclodiene group by its physiological properties and behavior in the organism as well as by its extremely sparing action on beneficial insects.

Dietary pesticide risk assessment.
TL;DR: In this review, the process of dietary pesticide risk assessment has been presented and three major components of the process--estimation of pesticide residue levels, estimation of food consumption patterns, and characterization of risk based on a comparison of exposure estimates with toxicological criteria--have been identified.
