The purpose of this paper is to estimate levels of pesticide residues present on or in greenhouse vegetables of the south-eastern Poland. Samples taken by trained inspectors of Inspectorates of Plant Protection (national monitoring program) and by personnel of the Experimental Station (surveillance programme) were generally analysed unwashed and unpeeled. The results obtained were compared to their MRLs and then were used for the assessment of the long (chronic) and short-term (acute) exposure of adult consumers. Detectable residues (above limit of determination) were found in 45, 36, and 20 of the tomato, pepper and cucumber samples (national monitoring program), respectively, and in 78, and 52 of the tomato and cucumber samples (surveillance programme). Long-term intake of residues by an adult consumer of the south-eastern Poland did not exceed the level of 0.2 of the ADI, indicating that sufficient margin of safety exist for the consumer. From short-term exposure, only consumption of tomatoes containing DTCs and chlorothalonil residues were close to levels of respective ADIs
