In the wake of liberalization and globalization of the markets,
pesticide residues in food assume importance with special reference
to codex and sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) measures. The present
study was envisaged to monitor the organochlorine pesticide residue
levels in meat of lamb and buffalo and in human blood samples and
to ascertain a realistic exposure. Study concluded that the levels
of organochlorine pesticides in buffalo and lamb meat in Punjab,
India were far below national Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) and is
safe for consumption. However, one buffalo meat sample exceeded
MRLs for lindane and six lamb samples exceeded MRLs for endosulphan
sulphate set by the Codex Alimentarius Commission. Analysis of 50
human serum samples each from Ludhiana and Nepal revealed that
pesticide residues occurred with a frequency of 96 and 94 per cent,
respectively. The levels were higher in Nepali population probably
due to the fact that they were residing near a dumping warehouse of
obsolete pesticides for the last more than 30 years. The book will
be particularly useful to persons who are engaged in research work
on impact of agrochemicals to environment and human health.
