In this research, 66 samples of tomatoes were collected from vegetables central market in Darr´aa city during the period extended between 20 October/2009 - 4 October/2010) to investigate the presence of 26 pesticide residues which belong to different chemical classes using Gas Chromatography instruments equipped with μECD, FPD, MSD detectors. QuEChERS extraction method was used for residue extraction from tomato samples. The detectors linearity and pesticide detection limits were determined for every pesticide studied, and the recovery for all pesticides ranged from 90.6 for fenvalerate to 105.5% for propargite. Results showed that 56.1% of tomato samples contained detectable residues and Chlorpyrifos and cypermethrin were the most detected pesticides, while amounts of propargite, methamidofos, cypermethrin, chlorpyrifos were the largest detected and mounted to 0.99, 0.15, 0.015, 0.012 mg/kg respectively as a median values. Residues of methamidofos in only 2 samples were above the European MRLs.,

The cucumber plants grown in field were sprayed with methomyl at dose (60-g a.i./100 liter water).The objectives of this work were to study role of somehome Preparation (washing and peeling) in elimination of methomyl residues from contaminated cu cumber fruits. The washing processes caused removal of residues methomyl from contaminated cucumber fruits that collected at intervals: 1,3 days after one application by percent loss reached: 72,60 %, respectively. The percent loss reached: 37.7, 45.8 % in cucumber fruits that collected at intervals: 0, 2 days, respectively after two applications. The peeling processes caused removal of residues methomyl from cucumber fruits that collected at intervals: 0, 3 days after one application by percent loss reached: 58.75, 57.14 %, respectively. and in cucumber fruits that collected at intervals : 0, 2 and 3 days after two applications ,the percent loss was: 55, 62.7 and 34.6 %, respectively.
The Barada River and the ground waters of Damascus Gouta are considered as a source for irrigation and for increasing the fertility of the soil since the very old times. But, the concentrate on the rabid agricultural and industrial development led to the aggravation of the water shortage problem and its contamination by pesticides, chemical pollutants and pathogens microbes. Therefore, this led to the exposition of the plantations, livestock and human health risks. This study aims to the estimation of the remaining effect of the pesticides and the definition of the concentration of some hazardous heavy metals as well as the study of numerical changes of the pathological bacteria and parasites in the waters of the Barada River tributaries and the ground waters in the Damascus Gouta under different climatic conditions around the year. This study also defines the potential health hazards related to such a contamination as well as putting forward some necessary proposals and recommendations for protecting the public health and environmental safety in Damascus and its countryside.
This study was carried out on soil samples collected from Damascus country side (Alghota – Jesrin), in order to study the impact of organochlorine insecticides resulted from heavy use for a long time. The duration of experiment was ١١ monthes cove ring four season condition. Samples were taken from two levels, the surface (١٠ cm) and the deep levels (٣٠-٤٥ cm). Soil samples were extracted by acetone, hexane and chloroform solvents. Residues were detected by using GC.
Study was conducted at Hama on summer ١٩٩٨ to determine the Persistence of two pesticides, the Organophosphorus Dimethoate, and the Pyrethroid Deltamethrin, on the Grapes.
Heavy metals determination was carried out in ٢٤ of vegetable crops, belong to three groups, i.e.: Leaf, Fruit and Tuber vegetable crops. Lead, Chromium, Cadmium and Mercury, were determined using Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy provided with Graph ite furnace. Vegetable samples were collected from six sites along the irrigation water source for Barada and Ghouta for two seasons, ٩٥-٩٦ and ٩٦-٩٧, to evaluate the effect of water source (surface polluted water and ground water) on the heavy metals content of vegetables.
