Abstrakt: The article focuses on the study conducted in Nairobi, Kenya regarding the occurrence of chlorfenvinphos residues, the influence of climate changes as well as the method of acaricide application on the residue content in cow's milk. The authors discuss the serious impact of chronic or acute exposure to chlorfenvinphos in human health as well as the danger of having high residue levels of butterfat in cow's milk for human consumption. Furthermore, they presented a comparison on the relationship between percent milk fat and chlorfenvinphos concentration during the wet and dry season as well as on dipped and handsprayed cows.
