Özet
This study investigates the dissipation kinetics of deltamethrin and lambda-cyhalothrin residues in apples grown in two distinct regions in Türkiye under open-field conditions. Using the QuEChERS method coupled with LC-MS/MS analysis, the method was validated with recovery rates within acceptable ranges and high sensitivity, achieving LOQ values of 2.77 μg/kg for deltamethrin and 3.40 μg/kg for lambda-cyhalothrin. Both pesticides exhibited first-order kinetic degradation, with half-lives ranging from 1.49 to 1.99 days for deltamethrin and 2.59 to 3.65 days for lambda-cyhalothrin. Residue levels remained below maximum residue limits (MRLs) for recommended application rates shortly after spraying, ensuring compliance with safety standards. However, double-dose applications resulted in higher initial residues, extended half-lives, and increased short-term exposure risks. A health risk assessment revealed hazard quotients (HQa and HQc) well below 1, indicating negligible acute and chronic risks for consumers under recommended practices. These findings underscore the importance of adhering to proper pesticide application guidelines to minimize risks and ensure food safety.
