Sažetak
A survey is given of the studies performed on pesticide residues in food and human fatty tissue in Yugoslavia. Out of 800 samples analysed in Yugoslav laboratories during the period of 1969-1971, 578 were food products and 222 human fatty tissue samples. The findings can be summarized as follows: (1) Food of animal origin was contaminated by organochlorine insecticides. DDT residues in milk ranged between 0.0035 to 0.025 ppm. (2) The residue levels of QC-insecticides in animal fat varied considerably in different Yugoslav laboratories, the mean value for DDT being 0.404 ppm. (3) OC residues in fruits and vegetables were found within the tolerance limits. (4) OC insecticide residues were found in all samples of human fatty tissue, with significant differences between geographical regions, as well as between age groups. (5) Organophosphorus insecticide residues were found in 19 percent of samples of plant origin. All values were within tolerance limits. (6) Arsenic was found in 52 percent of apple samples.
