Of 30 milk samples analyzed, 12 (40%) were found residues, six (20%) positive for OP, five (16,7%) for CB and one for both. The pesticides found in milk and their respective averages in ng/ml were: 0.04 for coumaphos, 0.01 for dimethoate, 0.06 for fenthion, 0.02 for malathion, 0.02 for aldicarb, 0.02 for carbaryl and 0.01 for carbofuran.
