The organophosphorus pesticides (OPPs) commonly used in agricultural practices can pose a risk of potential exposure to humans via food consumption. We describe an analytical method for solid-phase extraction coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography-diode array detector (SPE-HPLC-DAD) for the detection of OPPs (quinalphos, diazinon, and chlorpyrifos) in rice grains. The isolation of targeted residues was initiated with double extraction before SPE-HPLC-DAD, crucially reducing matrix interferences and detecting a wide range of multiple residues in rice grains. Coefficients of 0.9968 to 0.9991 showed a strong linearity, with limits of detection and quantification ranging from 0.36 to 0.68 µg/kg and from 1.20 to 2.28 µg/kg, respectively. High recoveries (80.4-110.3%) were observed at 3 spiking levels (50, 100, and 200 µg/kg), indicating good accuracy. The relative standard deviations of all residues (0.19-8.66%) validated the method precision. Sample analysis of 10 rice grain types (n = 30) available in the Asian market revealed that quinalphos, diazinon, and chlorpyrifos at concentrations of 1.08, 1.11, and 1.79 µg/kg, respectively, remained far below the maximum residue limits (0.01-0.5 mg/kg). However, regular monitoring is necessary to confirm that multiresidue occurrence remains below permissible limits while controlling pests. Environ Toxicol Chem 2020;39:1908-1917. © 2020 SETAC.

Article Synopsis
- A hospital-based study in Hyderabad, India examined the link between pesticide exposure and the levels of a cancer-associated biomarker (8-OHdG) in farmers and non-farmers with different types of cancers.
- The research revealed that farmers with leukemia had higher pesticide residue levels in their blood compared to those with lymphoma and breast cancer, while non-farmers and healthy individuals showed no such residues.
- The findings highlighted a significant correlation between one specific pesticide (profenofos) and elevated 8-OHdG levels, indicating a need for further research to explore these associations in larger groups.

This study analysed pesticide residues in cauliflower () and bitter gourd (), two widely consumed vegetables in Bangladesh, and assessed the associated human health risks. Vegetables were analysed using a modified QuEChERS extraction, followed by gas chromatography with flame thermionic and electron capture detectors. Results showed that in 36.

Article Synopsis
- - The study examined how the common reed, Phragmites australis, absorbs organophosphate pesticides (OPPs) in the polluted Sundays Estuary, South Africa, assessing water, plant, and sediment samples for 13 different OPPs.
- - Findings revealed that leaves of P. australis had the highest pesticide concentrations, while the plant showed the ability to bioaccumulate certain OPPs and effectively transport them from roots to leaves.
- - The research indicates that P. australis could be a useful plant for cleaning up contaminated environments, highlighting its potential for removing OPPs from water and sediment.
Determination of organophosphorus and synthetic pyrethroid pesticide residues and their variability in large size fruit crops.

Background: Variability of pesticide residues in food item plays a key role for the evaluation of consumer food safety. However, variability factors (VFs) derived from the large size fruit crops are still scarce. Therefore, the present work was aimed to quantify pesticide residues and to estimate VFs in large size fruit crops of mango and guava.
