The dynamics of incurred pesticide residues in apples, variety Melrose, was monitored during their cold storage at 1–3 C for 5 months. Of 21 active ingredients contained in pesticide preparations applied within four experimental pre-harvest regimes, only six fungicides (captan, cyprodinyl, dodine, pyrimethanil, tebuconazole, tolyfluanid) and one insecticide (phosalone) were detected at the time...

Exposure of workers to ethylenebisdithiocarbamates (EBDCs; maneb or mancozeb) in 29 potato farms was evaluated during the control of potato late blight. Concentrations of EBDCs and ethylenethiourea (ETU), an impurity and degradation product in EBDC formulations, in ambient air were evaluated during pesticide application. Biological monitoring of exposure to EBDCs was carried out by measuring th...
