Seventeen of the whole samples contained residues but less than the maximum residue limits (MRL). The contamiQDWHG VDPSOHV FRQWDLQHG Į- ȕ- Ȗ-HCH, dieldrin, SS¶-DDE and SS¶-DDT. Four analyzed egg samples contained pesticides residues less than the MRL. Ten of the analyzed meat samples contained pesticides residues but less than the MRL. Three analyzed milk product samples contained organochlorine pesticides but less than the MRL. The samples of animal origin were analyzed in the laboratories of the Royal Scientific Society under the request and supervision of the Ministry of Environment.
