Detection of Residual Levels and Associated Health Risk of Seven Pesticides in Fresh Eggplant and Tomato Samples from Narayanganj District, Bangladesh

Table 2

Percentage contamination and HRI of the investigated pesticides for eggplant.

Pesticide	Contamination rate (%)	MRL (mg/kg)	ADI (mg/kg/day)	EDI (mg/kg/day)	HRI	Health risk
Carbofuran	0	0.02	0.003	—	—	—
Diazinon	20	0.01	0.001	0.0143	14.3	Yes
Dimethoate	10	0.02	0.001	0.0104	10.4	Yes
Fenitrothion	10	0.01	0.002	0.0039	1.9	Yes
Linuron	20	0.05	0.010	0.0050	0.5	No
Parathion	0	0.05	0.005	—	—	—
Phosphamidon	10	0.01	0.001	0.0081	8.1	Yes

MRL = maximum residual limit; HRI = human risk index; ADI = acceptable dietary intake; EDI = estimated dietary intake. The HRI was calculated by considering an average daily vegetable intake for a 60 kg adult as 0.345 kg/person/day [16, 36] and using the MRL determined by EC regulation 396/2005 (from the EU pesticide database) [15].
