Abstract

A collaborative study was achieved to determine the distribution of coumaphos residues in beeswax and honey samples collected from hives in different parts of Turkey and Israel. Totally 170 samples were analyzed by Gas Chromatography / Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS). In Turkey and Israel no honey samples were contaminated over Maximum Residue Limit (MRL=100 ppb) but in Turkey 100 % of beeswaxes and in Israel 91.6% of positive beeswaxes were over MRL.
