To understand the health risks of pesticide residues in edible herbal crude drug materials, the actual residues of pesticides in these materials should be acquired. Therefore, we sampled 6 edible herbal crude drug materials from different commercial markets located in northern, central and southern Taiwan. In total, 60 samples were analyzed for 114 and 87 different kinds of pesticides by modified Method of Test for Pesticide Residues in Foods-Multiresidue Analysis (III) and (IV), respectively. Three pesticides, butachlor,procymidone and carbendazim, were found in Bai-He (Bulbus lilii). Twelve pesticides, acetamiprid, aldicarb,carbendazim, α-Cypermethrin, cyhalothrin, cypermethrin, dicofol, endosulfan, fenvalerate, imidacloprid,pyridaben and triadimenol, were detected in Gou-Chi (Fructus lycii); the other twelve pesticides, acephate,acetamiprid, allethrin, carbofuran, chlorpyrifos, p,p'-DDE, endosulfan, fenpropathrin, methamidophos,tetradifon, tetramethrin and triazophos were found in Yin-Er (Jelly fungi).
