The purpose of this study was to investigate abamectin, diazinon and chlorpyrifos in apple from the Mahabad of Iran. The influences of several parameters including shadow and sun, geographical directions and varieties of apples, whether they are golden or red type, was also taken into account on the residuals of the pesticides in the samples. The results indicated that sun considerably decreased the concentrations of diazinon and chlorpyrifos in samples exposed to it. Geographical directions are showed to be non-influential on diazinon while they are influential on chlorpyrifos ones. This can be attributed to pesticide spraying time and prevailing wind direction in Mahabad. The pesticides in golden and red varieties showed no significant relations. The apple samples from Mahabad did not contain any abamectin while they contained residuals of diazinon and chlorpyrifos. In some samples the diazinon and chlorpyrifos were above allowed limit according to World Health Organization (WHO) standard.
