Popis: Introduction: Pesticide use in Brazil is widespread. Generalpopulation is concerned about the risks of consuming foodcontaining pesticide residues. Objective: The greatest contributionof this work is to highlight the absence of blood residualcontamination in the population of medium plant of RioGrande do Sul, Brazil, by the pesticides: atrazine, abamectin,chlorpyriphos and diuron. Materials and methods: Pesticideresidues were extracted using QuEChERS approach and werequantified by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Results:Most volunteers (92.75%) present normal levels of plasmacholinesterase and all volunteers do not present residues ofany pesticide tested. Conclusion: This study demonstrates thateven though the use of pesticides is widespread in our region,the population did not present blood residues or enzymaticchanges suggestive of acute intoxication..
