Comparison of chlorpyrifos residues in edible parts of brassica chinensis, lettuce, celery, asparagus lettuce, eggplant and pepper with Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs).*^1.

<p>^*1Please note that this work intended to study pesticide persistence instead of for MRL establishment. The comparison described in above the table is used to study the persistence and dissipation of chlorpyrifos in the selected crops. The high residues above were due to the high application rate and different formulations.</p><p>^*2Code of Federal Regulations Title 40 Part 180.41 Crop group table (40 CFR 180.41).
