What is it about?
The residue levels of DDE, DDT, Dieldrin, Endosulfan and Lindane were determined in beans, maize and wheat samples collected from local markets in northern Tanzania. All residue levels were far below the FAO/WHO standards. No significant correlations were detected among the pesticides studied or between pesticides and the fat content of the commodities.
