Description
Omeo Ghosh, Md Islam, Fajilatun Nesa, and five colleagues test dried fish for a banned pesticide in this two thousand twenty-six food safety study. DDT lingers in the food chain for years. The team bought ninety-six samples of two dried sea fish eaten widely in Bangladesh and measured DDT and the two compounds it breaks down into, using gas chromatography.
The parent pesticide turned up in ten samples, at low levels. Its breakdown products were found far more often, and the mix of the three pointed to old exposure, not fresh spraying. Total DDT peaked at about twenty-nine micrograms per kilogram. Health risk math came out mild: the hazard score sat well below the worry line, and lifetime cancer risk was negligible for most samples. A few samples showed higher combined exposure but stayed inside the range United States rules call tolerable.
