This study analyzed pesticide residue levels in vegetables from domestic markets in Sri Lanka. Samples of tomatoes, capsicums, and cabbages were collected from five markets each in Nuwara Eliya, Puttalam, and Matale districts. The samples were extracted and analyzed using GC-MS to detect chlorpyrifos, phenthoate, tebuconazole, oxyfluorfen, and prothiofos residues. The analysis found pesticide residues in 40% of samples, with phenthoate highest in tomatoes and capsicums and tebuconazole highest in cabbage. Residue levels did not exceed maximum residue limits. The study aims to increase awareness of pesticide usage and risks and support

Conclusions • The study revealed about 40% contamination of selected vegetables • The average recovery of pesticide standards in vegetable samples were 80.0 to 120.0 % • The prominent pesticide residue in tomato and capsicum was phenthoate (0.345 mg/kg), (0.2 mg/kg) and in cabbage tebuconazole (0.33 mg/kg). • 27% of vegetable samples collect from Puttalam district contain residue of chlorpyrifos a banned pesticide. • Residues of the pesticides does not exceed MRL.
- 19. Limitations • Limited time to do the study • Limited pesticide standards and cost of the analysis. • Difference practices followed by middlemen.
- 20. Suggestions • Periodical assessments are required. • Increase the sample size and sampling locations. • Select different vegetables and fruits.

Editor's Notes
- Adopting a new healthier lifestyle can involve changing diet to include more fresh fruit and vegetables TOPIC
- To make insight, vegetables are mature edible plant sources which may or may not be processed before consumption. Also they are rich in vitamins, minerals and dietary fibers. Therefore they are a important part of a healthy diet. . To improve or sustain the quality & quantity farmers apply varies Chemicals.
- Due to the type of the crops, their economic value and type of pest and weed the chemicals and the application methods can be differ.
- Can you think of answering this things. If farmers obey agrochemical usage standards? Are these chemicals residually accumulated in harvest? The vegetable we get from domestic markets are free from pesticide residues
- My research objectives stand this way To quantify prominent pesticide residues in selected vegetables in domestic markets in our country And comparing the pesticide residue level among the vegetables and the selected districts And also compare them with the maximum residue level
- Initially site selection to collect veg was done 3 district (Nuwara Eliya, Puttalam and Matale) domestic markets were assessed
- Sample collection was done by collecting 1kg of each vegetable (Tomato, Capsicum & Cabbage) collected from five different domestic market from a district Altogether 45 samples was collected.
- Vegetable samples were chopped and blended and frozen for overnight. On the following day, the pesticide residue was extracted from the vegetable matrix using “QuEChERS” method . “Quick Easy Cheap Effective Rugged Safe method”
- For the Residue analysis raw sample and spiked sample extracts was injected to preform a GC-MS. For, Chlorpyrifos, Oxyfluorfen, Phenthoate, Prothiofos, Tebuconazole
- Now I will show you the important part of my research.
- 1.Moving to the results of the study, the figure illustrates the recovery % of pesticides compounds inject to the vegetable samples. 2. Recovery % of pesticides standard compounds in vegetables varies from 80% to 120%. Among the 3 pesticide standard compounds, 3.penthoate showed the highest recovery percentage where as chlorpyrifos showed the lowest recovery percentage.
- 1.A variation in the presence of pesticide compounds was detected in VEG from different domestic markets. 2.Among the VEG from 3 different districts, VEGs from Matale reported to have more chance of presence of PR. 3.Level of pesticide residue presence was comparatively low in vegetables from Nuwara Eliya. 4.Further, presence of PR in VEG from Puttalam was greater than VEG from Nuwara Eliya and Lower than Matale.
- 1.Having discussed the level of pesticide residue presence in vegetables from different districts, 2.let me now move on to the level of pesticide residues among different vegetables. 3.Based on the figure, highest level of pesticide residue presence was detected in cabbage. 4.Equal chance of pesticide residues was identified in tomato and capsicum.
- 1.Taking a closer look at the Prominent pesticide residues in selected vegetables, 2.chlorpyrifos presence was detected at lower level in selected three types of vegetables. 3.Phenthoate was highly prominent in tomato whereas tebuconazole was commonly high in cabbage. 4.Further, phenthoate presence was not detected in cabbage.
- 1.When focusing the study location, chlorpyrifos was found only in the VEG from Puttalam. 2.An equal level of phenthoate residues was identified in VEGs from Nuwara Eliya and Matale. 3.More or less equal level of pesticide residues was found in VEGs from 3 districts. 4.Tebuconazole was significantly prominent in VEGs from Matale compared to other 2 districts. 5.VEGs from Nuwara Eliya and Puttalam showed an equal level of tebuconazole pesticide residues.
- 1.These figures clearly explains the comparison of pesticides residues with their respective MRL. 2.Presence of chlorpyrifos residue in selected three types of vegetables was very lower compared with its MRL. 3.Similarly, Presence of tebuconazole residue in selected three types of vegetables was also lower compared with its MRL.
- Finally lets move to the conclusion. 1.From the total 45 VEG sample 40% are contain pesticide residue 2.The avg recovery percentage for the pesticide standard is between 80% to 120% 3.Phenthoate is the prominent pesticide residue in tomato and capsicum and tebuconazole in cabbage. 4.27% of vegetable samples collect from Puttalam district contain residue of chlorpyrifos a banned pesticide. 5.But the Residues of the pesticides does not exceed MRL.
- * Limited time to assess the markets and collect samples. *8 pesticide standards are available only for this 8 compounds the analysis can be done but there are different pesticide are used in agriculture *And also for one sample extraction cost is very high.
- To get a reliable result of the residue of pesticides because there is a different in the application of pesticide to the harvest can be change due to the season. When increase the sample size and location the final out put of the study can be reliable and represent the whole country
- At the end of this study I would like to offer my gratitude to these people specially to Prof.cvl jayasinga HEAD dept. food sci & technology Internal supervisor External supervisor
- These are some of important references which I followed.
- keep this theme in your mind “Eat healthy, live longer” Thank you all
