Pesticide and other chemical residues in total diet samples (XI). 1977

R D Johnson, and D D Manske

In the Total Diet study, the Food and Drug Administration has, since 1964, reported residues of pesticides and other chemicals ingested in the average diet of the Nation's largest eater, the young adult male. During the eleventh year of the study, pesticide residues remained at the relatively low levels reported previously. Twenty market baskets were collected in 20 cities which ranged in population from less than 50,000 to 1,000,000 or more. Averages and ranges of residues found are reported for August 1974 through July 1975 by food class. The individual items used in making up the dairy and meat composites in four market baskets were analyzed for pesticides and the results are included. Data for lead, cadmium, selenium, mercury, arsenic, and zinc are also included. Results of recovery studies within various classes of residues are also presented.
