  From January to December 2022, a study was carried out in Cameroon in order to assess the pesticide honey contamination and presence of other toxic compounds and the related public health significance. In order to achieve these objectives, 150 samples were collected from the three much honey productive areas respectively at the hive, extraction and market levels and analysed. The pesticide and others compound determination was done through the QuEChERS coupled with the gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, while the health risk assessment was done by the calculation of the Hazard Index (HI) associated with each compound. A total of thirteen samples (prevalence=8.69%) were positive to four toxic compounds (satratoxin-h, methyl-diclofop, fumaronitrile and propiolonitrile) respectively in the bimodal forest (prevalence: 6.67) and western highlands (23.37%). No health risk was associated .. Read More»
