A total of 166 samples of fresh fruit, vegetables, cultivated crops and herbaceous plants of Polish origin were analysed in 2010 at Pesticide Residue Laboratory of the Local Experimental Station in Trzebnica. The monitoring programme covered 29 commodities and 132 pesticides including some isomers and breakdown products. Mainly validated analytical multiresidue methods were used, enabling to determine many compounds at the same time, in compliance with legally binding standards and tested during international proficiency tests (FAPAS, UE). The following analytical techniques were used: GC/μECD/NPD and spectrophotometry. Residues lower than MRLs of 13 pesticides (9 fungicides and 4 insecticides) were detected in 19.9% of samples analysed. Percentage of the samples without pesticide residues amounted to 80.1%.
