    Journal: Pestic Monit J; 1977 Mar; 10(4):134-48. PubMed ID: 857241.
    Abstract:
    Since 1964 the Food and Drug Administration Total Diet study has reported residues of pesticides and other chemicals ingested in the diet of a young adult male, statisically the Nation's largest eater. During the tenth year of the study, pesticide residues remained at the relatively low levels previously reported. Thirty market baskets were collected in 30 cites which ranged in population from less than 50,000 to 1,000,000 or more. Averages and ranges of residues are reported from August 1973 through July 1974 by food class. Individual items in the dairy and meat composites in four market baskets were analyzed for pesticides; 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.
