Introduction: Pesticide use in Brazil is widespread. General
population is concerned about the risks of consuming food
containing pesticide residues. Objective: The greatest contribution
of this work is to highlight the absence of blood residual
contamination in the population of medium plant of Rio
Grande do Sul, Brazil, by the pesticides: atrazine, abamectin,
chlorpyriphos and diuron. Materials and methods: Pesticide
residues were extracted using QuEChERS approach and were
quantified by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Results:
Most volunteers (92.75%) present normal levels of plasma
cholinesterase and all volunteers do not present residues of
any pesticide tested. Conclusion: This study demonstrates that
even though the use of pesticides is widespread in our region,
the population did not present blood residues or enzymatic
changes suggestive of acute intoxication..
