In 2012, the Institute of Plant Protection – National Research Institute within the official control of pesticide residues tested samples of agricultural products originating from a primary production. The samples were taken randomly from domestic farms by inspectors of the Plant Health and Seed Inspection. The study comprised 236 compounds and 52 products. 1,302 samples were analysed, including 622 vegetable samples, 302 fruit samples, 356 cereal samples and 22 other product samples. Pesticide residues of 43 compounds were detected in 221 samples of 29 products. Residues of two or more pesticides were found in 4.6% of analysed samples. Pesticide residues were found in 30.1% of fruit samples, 17.5% of vegetable samples and 5.9% of cereal samples. Their presence was often observed in celeriac (57.1%), carrots (54.5%), gooseberries (50.0%), tomatoes (46.8%), sweet peppers (38.5%), apples (38.5%), strawberries (37.8%) and parsley roots (35.1%). Chlorpyrifos residues in carrots and Chinese cabbage, dithiocarbamates in pears, potatoes, currants, apples, strawberries, lettuce and tomatoes, chlorothalonil in tomatoes, captan in pears, boscalid in strawberries, linuron in parsley roots, azoxystrobin in tomatoes, cyprodinil and fludioxonil in strawberries were detected most frequently. The exceedances of the Maximum Residue Levels (MRLs) were found in 0.4% of the samples, while unauthorized substances in 2.2% of analysed samples.
