Background: Mancozeb belongs to a group of pesticides known as dithiocarbamates (DTC) that are a non-systemic group of pesticides extensively used in Uganda to protect crops from fungal diseases.
Objectives: This study was done in 5 selected districts of Central Uganda with a focus on markets and farms to investigate the current mancozeb concentrations on tomatoes and identify key areas of improvement to minimize human exposure.
Methods: Tomato samples were analyzed for mancozeb residue determined as carbon disulfide (CS) by gas chromatography-mass spectrometer (GC-MS).
