In this study, the occurrence of 18 organophosphorus pesticide residues in Cilento (Campania, Italy) virgin olive oil was investigated. Sixty-five samples were taken from the major production areas during 1999–2000. In 31 samples, nine organophosphorus pesticides, namely azinphos-ethyl, chlorpyrifos-methyl, diazinon, dimethoate, fenthion, formothion, methidathion, parathion and parathion-methyl were found in concentrations ranging from 0.030 to 0.120 mg/kg. Acefate, carbophenothion, chlorpyrifos, malaoxon, malathion, methamidophos, omethoate, paraoxon-methyl, and pirimiphos-methyl were not detected in any sample. Analysis was carried out using capillary gas chromatography with a Nitrogen/Phosphorus Detector (NPD) detector, after sample extraction with n-hexane and clean-up by a single-step multi-cartridge system. Recoveries of 18 pesticides at three fortification levels (0.5, 1.0 and 2.5 mg/kg) were in the range 82–110%. Only two samples contained dimethoate residue that exceeded the FAO/WHO Codex Alimentarius maximum residue limits (MRLs).
