Abstract

Dizanion considered as a chemical pesticide due to its wide range of effectiveness by many agricultural producer. But in the case of non-compliance with the retention period, the existence of pesticide residue in products greatly endangered the consumer’s health. For conducting this study, 45 cucumber and 45 tomato sample took from the grocery market of Kermanshah. The samples transferred to the laboratory by using the ultrasound assisted solvent extraction combined with dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction followed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and evaluated for the dizanion pesticide residue. The frequency of the cucumber samples with dizanion level of more than MRL in three sampling region of A, B and D were 2(22.2%), 1(11.1%) and 2(22.2%) respectively, while in other region it was less than MRL. Also the frequency of tomato samples with dizanion level of more than MRL in three sampling region of E and D were 1(11.1%) and 3(33.3%) respectively. While in other places it was less than the acceptable limit. According to the main hazard of toxin on humans health and due to the fact that the dizanion level in some samples were more than the limit, it is essential that supervisions take necessary measures for monitoring the pesticide residue level (such as dizanion) before entering the agricultural product into the market. © 2016, International Journal Of Pharmacy and Technology.
