Abstract
Organophosphorus and organochlorine residues were studied on 31 samples of Uruguayan lemon oils corresponding to the 1995 season from North and South areas of fruit production in the country. Organochlorine pesticides were absent in all die samples analyzed. The average level of contamination for the organophosphorus pesticides (Chlorpyrifos and Methidathion) was 0.80 ppm and 15.05 ppm for die samples corresponding to the North and South areas, respectively. The results were compared with those obtained in 1993 in lemon oils from the same areas of production.
