Determination of Some Organochlorine Pesticide Residues in Honeys From Konya, Turkey. Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 168(2010), 277-283. Doi:10.1007/s10661-009-1111-60167-6369https://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s10661-009-1111-6https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12395/24773In this study, 24 organochlorine pesticide residues in 109 different honey samples collected from stores and open markets in Konya, Turkey were analyzed by gas chromatography-electron capture detection. Aldrin, cis-chlordane, trans-chlordane, oxy-chlordane, 2,4(') -DDE, and 4,4(') -DDE were found in all honey samples. The mean value was 0.0540 mu g g (-aEuro parts per thousand 1) for oxy-chlordane. In the 55 samples of 109, levels of organochlorine pesticide residues of oxy-chlordane were determined as higher than those of Turkish Alimentarius Codex maximum residual limits (MRLs). Other organochlorine pesticide residues also exceeded MRLs except for cis-heptachlor epoxide and alpha-hexachlorocyclohexane. Since all of the honey samples are found contaminated and most of these samples exceeded MRLs, a control of organochlorine pesticide residues in honey is necessary for consumer health.en10.1007/s10661-009-1111-6info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessOrganochlorine PesticidesHoneyKonyaTurkeyArticle16827728319685151Q2WOS:000280640500025Q3
