Effect of consumption of vegetables contaminated with pesticides on consumers’ health – risk analysis
Contamination of plant foods with pesticides creates a serious risk for human health. Strict control of food is recommended starting with primary production through processing, storage, distribution, ending with consumption. To limit health risk resulting from exposure to pesticide residues while consuming vegetables, precautionary measures should be taken based on the application of good agricultural practices. The assessment of health risk caused by exposure to pesticides should be a permanent element of the activities of institutions responsible for food safety 'from farm to fork', especially those responsible for public health.
