    Abstract:
    The concentration of pesticide residues in 105 green tea samples grown in Hangzhou area were investigated. Of the 14 pesticides analysed using gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry and the 27 pesticides analysed using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, only 18 were detected in the tea samples. The most frequently detected pesticide residues were imidacloprid (35.2%), acetamiprid (26.7%), carbendazim (21.0%), bifenthrin (21.0%), and cyhalothrin (19.1%). Carbofuran was the only pesticide which exceeded in one sample the maximum residue limit. The concentrations of the analytes in tea samples ranged from below the limit of detection (LOD) to 2.64 mg/kg. Their mean concentrations were all below the LOD, except for imidacloprid, acetamiprid, carbendazim, bifenthrin and cyhalothrin. Based on a preliminary long-term exposure assessment, the hazard quotient values of the detected pesticides varied in the range 0.47 × 10-3 - 1.1 × 10-3%, which indicates that these levels did not pose a risk to human health in Hangzhou area.
