Poultry intended for human food may absorb insecticides from
residues in their feed, water or during direct/indirect exposure in
the course of pest control. The aim of the present study was to
monitor organochlorine insecticide residues in poultry feed,
chicken and eggs at selected poultry farms. The study concluded
that high levels of residues in poultry feed including total HCH
and DDT and their presence in chicken and eggs at the farms
indicate that poultry feed could be one of the major sources of
contamination. Another objective was to determine the concentration
of malathion in muscles and liver of the birds exposed to it
dermally. The effect of malathion on plasma and erythrocyte
acetylcholinestrase activity was also studied.The concentration of
insecticide residues in adipose tissue of humans is one of the best
indices of the extent of their exposure and risk evaluation. Thus,
human biopsy adipose tissue samples were analyzed for the presence
of insecticide residues. The book is of great use to persons
interested in interdisciplinary studies at the agriculture/food
interface.
