To the Reader:

I am pleased to present the Pesticide Data Program’s (PDP) 19th Annual Summary for 

calendar year 2009. The U.S. Department of Agriculture implemented the PDP in 1991 to test 

food commodities for pesticide residues. The data produced by the PDP are used to estimate 

consumer dietary exposure to pesticides and the relationship of those exposures to sciencebased standards of safety. This report shows that overall pesticide residues found on foods 

tested are at levels below the tolerances set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 

(EPA). 

Using a rigorous statistical approach to sampling along with the most current laboratory 

methods, the PDP tests a wide variety of domestic and imported foods. Foods tested include 

fresh and processed fruit and vegetables, meat and poultry, grains, catfish, rice, specialty 

products, and water. 

The 1996 Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA) directs the Secretary of Agriculture to 

collect pesticide residue data on foods that are highly consumed, particularly by infants 

and children. This law also established a strict health-based standard for a “reasonable 

certainty of no harm” for pesticide residues in food to ensure consumer protection from 

unacceptable pesticide exposure. The EPA uses the PDP data as a critical component for 

dietary assessments of pesticide exposure, a critical step to verify that all sources of exposure 

to pesticides meet the safety standards set by the 1996 FQPA. 

The PDP is a voluntary program and is not designed for enforcement of EPA tolerances. 

However, we inform the U.S. Food and Drug Administration if residues detected exceed 

the EPA tolerance or have no EPA tolerance established. In 2009, residues exceeding the 

tolerance were detected in 0.3 percent of the samples tested, and residues with no established 

tolerance were found in 2.7 percent of the samples.

The PDP works with Cooperating State agencies that are responsible for sample collection 

and analysis. Twelve States participated in the program during 2009: California, Colorado, 

Florida, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, New York, Ohio, Texas, Washington, and 

Wisconsin. These States represent all regions of the country and more than half of the U.S. 

population.

What Consumers Should Know

•	 Consumers should always rinse fruits and vegetables in water.

•	 U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) encourages the consumption of fruits and 

vegetables in every meal as part of a healthy diet. 

•	 Before a company can sell or distribute any pesticide in the United States of 

America, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) must review studies on 

the pesticide to determine that it will not pose unreasonable risks to human health or 

the environment. Once EPA has made that determination, it will license or register 

that pesticide for use in strict accordance with label directions.

•	 EPA regulates pesticide use under two major federal statutes: the Federal 

Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) of 1947 which regulates 

pesticide registrations in the U.S., and the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) of 

1938 under which EPA establishes tolerances (maximum legally permissible levels) 

for pesticide residues in food. The Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA) of 1996 

amended these two pesticide laws to mandate a single, health-based standard for 

all pesticides in all foods. FQPA provides stricter safety standards than FIFRA and 

FFDCA, especially for infants and children and requires periodic re-evaluation of 

pesticide registrations and tolerances to ensure that the scientific data supporting

pesticide registrations will remain up to date in the future. The Pesticide Data 

Program (PDP) provides data for the periodic re-evaluation of food tolerances. 

•	 If the pesticide is used on food crops, EPA sets a tolerance or maximum residue 

level of the pesticide that can remain in or on foods. In setting the tolerance, EPA is 

required to make a safety finding for the pesticide accounting for all possible routes

of exposure (through food, water and in home environments). 

•	 In evaluating consumer exposure to pesticides through the diet, EPA uses all 

available information provided by company registrants, PDP and others to verify that 

tolerances meet the safety standards set by the FQPA of 1996. 

•	 There are many pesticides available for use on the same crop; however, not all 

crops are treated with these pesticides and pesticide treatments vary according to 

crop geographical location, time of year, climatic conditions, and pest and disease 

pressures. These differences are captured by PDP data which reflect actu

residues present in food grown in various regions of the U.S. and overseas.

•	 PDP data are essential in supporting efforts by the USDA and EPA to assess the 

American consumer’s dietary exposure to pesticide residues, as directed by the 

FQPA. PDP concentrates its efforts mainly on foods most often consumed by infants 

and children.

•	 This report shows that overall pesticide residues found on foods tested are at levels 

below the tolerances established by EPA. 

•	 The PDP laboratory methods used are geared to detect the smallest possible levels 

of pesticide residues, even when those levels are well below the safety margins 

(tolerances) established by EPA. Prior to testing, PDP analysts washed samples 

for 10 seconds with gently running cold water as a consumer would do at home; no 

chemicals, soap or any special wash was used.

•	 PDP informs the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) if residues detected 

exceed the EPA tolerance or have no EPA tolerance established. In 2009, residues 

exceeding the tolerance were detected in 0.3 percent of all samples tested and 

residues with no established tolerance were found in 2.7 percent of the samples.

•	 The report shows that none of the residue detections in the finished water samples

exceeded established EPA Maximum Contaminant Levels, Health Advisory levels, or 

established Freshwater Aquatic Organism criteria.

Executive Summary

In 1991, the U.S. Department of Agriculture 

(USDA), Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) 

was charged with designing and implementing the 

Pesticide Data Program (PDP) to collect data on 

pesticide residues in food. PDP provides highquality data on residues in food, particularly foods 

most likely consumed by infants and children. This 

19th Pesticide Data Program Summary presents 

results for samples collected in 2009.

This information is provided to the U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Before 

a company can sell or distribute any pesticide in 

the United States of America, EPA must review 

studies on the pesticide to determine that it will 

not pose unreasonable risks to human health 

or the environment. Once EPA has made that 

determination, it will license or register that 

pesticide for use in strict accordance with label 

directions. 

Before allowing a pesticide to be used on a food 

commodity, EPA sets limits on how much of a 

pesticide may be used on food during growing and 

processing, and how much can remain on the food 

you buy. Government inspectors monitor food in 

interstate commerce to ensure that these limits are 

not exceeded. EPA also sets standards to protect 

workers from exposure to pesticides on the job. 

AMS, through its Monitoring Programs Office 

(MPO), is responsible for the administration, 

planning and coordination of day-to-day PDP 

operations. MPO meets regularly with EPA and 

other government agencies to establish program 

priorities and direction. Sampling and/or testing 

program operations are carried out with the support 

of 12 States: California, Colorado, Florida, 

Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, New 

York, Ohio, Texas, Washington, and Wisconsin. 

These States have a prominent role in program 

planning and policy setting, particularly policies 

relating to quality assurance. 

In 2009, program support for sampling of beef also 

was provided by USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection 

Service. Sampling and testing of drinking water 

was conducted with personnel from various public 

utilities. State health technicians and homeowners 

provided sampling for groundwater. Testing also 

was conducted by USDA’s AMS National Science 

Laboratory, USDA’s Grain Inspection, Packers and 

Stockyards Administration Laboratory, and EPA’s 

Analytical Chemistry Laboratory. 

PDP commodity sampling is based on a rigorous 

statistical design that ensures the data are reliable 

for use in exposure assessments and can be used 

to draw various conclusions about the Nation’s 

food supply. The pesticides and commodities to 

be included each year in the sampling are selected 

based on EPA data needs and take into account the 

types and amounts of food consumed by infants 

and children. The number of samples collected by 

the States is apportioned according to that State’s 

population. Samples are randomly chosen close to 

the time and point of consumption (i.e., distribution 

centers rather than at farm gate) and reflect what is 

typically available to the consumer throughout the 

year. Samples are selected without regard to country 

of origin, variety, or organic labeling. The monthly 

sampling rate is 62 samples per commodity, except 

for highly seasonal commodities. For seasonal 

commodities, sampling rates are adjusted to reflect 

market availability. Sampling rates for beef are 

based on production.

Fresh and processed fruit and vegetables accounted 

for 81.5 percent of the total samples collected in 

2009. Other samples collected included water 

samples, 6.7 percent; beef, 4.4 percent; catfish, 4.1 

percent; and rice, 3.3 percent; fresh and processed 

fruit and vegetables tested include: apples, 

asparagus, canned beans, cilantro, cucumbers, 

grapes, green onions, lettuce (organic), oranges, 

pears, potatoes, spinach, strawberries, sweet 

corn (fresh on-the-cob/frozen), sweet potatoes 

and tomato paste. Approximately 79 percent of 

samples were from U.S. sources, 20 percent were 

imports and 1 percent was of mixed or of unknown 

origin.

Because PDP data are mainly used for risk 

assessments, PDP laboratory methods are geared 

to detect the smallest possible levels of pesticide 

residues, even when those levels are well below

the safety margins (tolerances) established by EPA. 

Prior to testing, PDP analysts washed samples 

for 10 seconds with gently running cold water as 

a consumer would do; no chemicals, soap or any 

special wash was used. Results for more than 1.8 

million analyses were reported by the laboratories 

in 2009, too numerous to be included in their 

entirety in this summary. The PDP database file for 

2009, and annual summaries and database files for 

previous years, are available on the PDP Web site 

at http://www.ams.usda.gov/pdp or by contacting 

MPO.

PDP is a voluntary program and is not designed for 

enforcement of tolerances. However, PDP informs 

the U.S. Food and Drug Administration if residues 

detected exceed the EPA tolerance or have no EPA 

tolerance established. In 2009, residues exceeding 

the established tolerance were detected in 0.3 

percent of the samples tested, and residues with 

no established tolerance were found in 2.7 percent 

of the samples. Appendices B through G provide 

a distribution of residues by pesticide for the 

commodities tested. More information on results 

is provided in the Sample Results and Discussion 

section of the summary.

PDP laboratories also test foods for low levels of 

environmental contaminants that are no longer 

used in the U.S., but due to their persistence in the 

environment, particularly in soil, can be taken up by 

plants. PDP tracks these contaminants and provides 

the data to the Codex Alimentarius Commission. 

In 2009, 612 (treated and untreated) drinking water 

samples were collected at water treatment facilities 

in 11 States and 278 groundwater samples were 

collected at farm wells, school/daycare facilities 

and private residence wells located in 16 States. 

Low levels of detectable residues, measured in 

parts per trillion, were detected in both drinking 

water and groundwater. The majority of pesticides, 

metabolites, and isomers included in the PDP 

testing profiles were not detected. None of the 

detections in the finished water samples exceeded 

established EPA Maximum Contaminant Levels, 

Health Advisory levels, or established Freshwater 

Aquatic Organism criteria.

PDP continually strives to improve methods for 

collection, testing, and reporting data. These data 

are freely available to EPA and other Federal 

and State agencies charged with regulating and 

setting policies on the use of pesticides and to all 

stakeholders by hard copy, Internet, or custom 

reports generated by MPO. Additional copies of 

the PDP Annual Summary may be obtained by 

calling MPO at (703) 330-2300 or by mailing the 

form provided at the end of the Summary.

Pesticide Data Program (PDP)

Annual Summary, Calendar Year 2009

This summary consists of the following sections: (I.) Introduction, (II.) Sampling Operations, 

(III.) Laboratory Operations, (IV.) Database Management, and (V.) Sample Results and Discussion

I. Introduction

The Pesticide Data Program (PDP) was initiated in 

1991 to collect data on pesticide residues in food and 

now has an important role in the implementation of 

the 1996 Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA). 

The law directs the Secretary of Agriculture to 

collect pesticide residue data on commodities most 

frequently consumed by infants and children. PDP 

data are used primarily by the U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA) to assess dietary exposure 

during the review of the safety of existing pesticide 

tolerances (Maximum Residue Limits). 

Because PDP collects data on food commodities 

primarily for exposure assessment, program 

operations differ markedly from those followed 

by regulatory monitoring programs for tolerance 

enforcement. PDP samples are collected closer to 

the point of consumption and are prepared emulating 

consumer practices. Sampling is based on EPA data 

needs and does not impede commodity distribution. 

Laboratory operations are designed to achieve the 

lowest detectable levels rather than quick sample 

turnaround. As a dietary risk assessment support 

program, PDP focuses its pesticide testing on 

registered uses for the commodities in the program 

rather than screening for all potential illegal uses.

Figure 1(a) illustrates contributors to PDP program 

policy development and planning operations. 

Primary contributors to these activities include 

the participating States, EPA, U.S. Department 

of Agriculture’s (USDA’s) National Agricultural 

Statistics Service (NASS), and additional 

stakeholders including industry and grower groups. 

Figure 1(b) depicts PDP primary data users including 

EPA, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration 

(FDA), USDA’s Economic Research Service 

(ERS) and Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS), 

participating States, academic institutions, chemical 

manufacturers, environmental interest groups, food 

safety organizations, and groups within the private 

sector representing food producers. Other Federal, 

State, and foreign government agencies and industry 

have used PDP data to promote the export of U.S. 

commodities to international markets. Additionally, 

the Codex Alimentarius Committee on Pesticides 

Residues recognizes PDP methodologies as official 

and validated methods for the determination of 

pesticide residues in foods.

In 2009, sampling services were provided by 10 

States (California, Colorado, Florida, Maryland, 

Michigan, New York, Ohio, Texas, Washington, 

and Wisconsin) and the USDA’s Food Safety and 

Inspection Service (FSIS). Sampling services for 

drinking water were provided by participating 

facility personnel at 13 individual sites in 11 

States (Alabama, California, Georgia, Illinois (2 

sites), Kansas, New York, North Carolina, North 

Dakota, Ohio, Texas, and Virginia (2 sites)). A 

voluntary groundwater survey was continued in 

2009 with homeowners at 70 sites in agricultural 

areas in Florida (1), Minnesota (9), Nebraska (50), 

New York (2), South Dakota (3), Virginia (4) and 

Wisconsin (1) collecting potable well samples 

for analysis. In addition, a survey of schools and 

childcare facilities obtaining water from onsite 

wells was begun. In 2009, 113 schools/childcare 

facilities from 11 States (California, Georgia, 

Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Michigan, New York, 

Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas and Virginia) 

were sampled and analyzed. In addition, 95 wells 

located within 300 feet of pesticide tank rinse/fill 

stations which were used as potable water supplies 

by field workers in the State of Florida were tested. 

Laboratory services were provided by the States of 

California, Colorado, Florida, Michigan, Minnesota, 

Montana, New York, Ohio, Texas, and Washington; 

the Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) National 

Science Laboratory (NSL); the GIPSA Laboratory; 

and, the EPA Analytical Chemistry Laboratory 

(ACL). The AMS Monitoring Programs Office 

(MPO) is responsible for overall management of 

PDP.

program sampling and/or testing. Together, these 

States represent about 50 percent of the Nation’s

population and all 4 census regions of the U.S. 

They also represent major U.S. producers of fruit 

and vegetables. AMS works closely with EPA to 

select commodities and pesticides for testing and 

in the selection of drinking water and groundwater 

sites. The selected commodities represent the 

highest U.S. consumption, with an emphasis on 

foods consumed by infants and children. Appendix 

A provides a list of commodities tested by PDP 

from the beginning of the program in 1991 through 

2010.

Fruit and vegetable samples are collected at 

terminal markets and large chain store distribution 

centers from which food commodities are supplied 

to supermarkets and grocery stores. Sampling at 

these locations allows for residue measurements that 

include pesticides applied during crop production 

and those applied after harvest (such as fungicides 

and growth regulators) and takes into account 

residue degradation while food commodities are 

in storage. Participation as a PDP sampling site is 

voluntary, which sets it apart from State and Federal 

enforcement programs. In 2009, approximately 

600 sites granted access and provided information, 

including site volume data, to sample collectors. 

Voluntary cooperation is important to PDP and 

makes it possible to adjust sampling protocols in 

response to fluctuations in food distribution and 

production.

Beef samples are collected by trained USDA-FSIS 

inspectors. Treated and untreated drinking water 

samples are collected onsite by trained personnel 

Figure 2. Program Participants. During 2009, AMS established cooperative agreements with 12 States to sample and/or 

test PDP commodities. Together, these States represent about 50 percent of the Nation’s population and all 4 census regions 

of the U.S. They also represent major U.S. producers of fruit and vegetables. State laboratories are responsible for analyzing 

fresh and processed fruit and vegetable samples and drinking water samples. The Federal AMS laboratory in Gastonia, North 

Carolina, analyzes meat, poultry, honey, and dairy products; the Federal laboratory in Kansas City, Missouri, analyzes whole 

and processed grain products; and, the Federal EPA laboratory in Fort Meade, Maryland, performs specialty analyses for 

selected crops.

at selected water treatment facilities across the 

country. Groundwater samples are collected from 

private potable wells by homeowners and State 

health department technicians. Sites are selected 

based on geographic locale and proximity to 

agricultural areas.

Pesticides screened by PDP include those with 

current registered uses and compounds for which 

toxicity data and preliminary estimates of dietary 

exposure indicate the need for more extensive 

residue data. PDP also monitors pesticides for 

which EPA has modified use directions (i.e., reduced 

application rates or frequency) as part of risk 

management activities. The following appendices 

list the specific pesticides tested in the program: 

fruit and vegetables (Appendix B), rice (Appendix 

C), beef (Appendix D), catfish (Appendix E), 

potable groundwater (Appendix F), and municipal 

drinking water (Appendix G).

II. Sampling Operations

♦ Background

The goal of the PDP sampling program is to obtain 

a statistically defensible representation of the U.S. 

food supply. PDP data reflect actual pesticide residue 

exposure from food. Using a rigorous statistical 

design, PDP has developed extensive procedures 

that ensure samples are randomly selected from the 

national food distribution system and reflect what 

is typically available to the consumer.

In 2009, fruit, vegetables, rice, and catfish were 

randomly collected by trained State inspectors at 

terminal markets and large chain store distribution 

centers throughout the country. Surrogate or 

“proxy” sites (retail markets) are occasionally 

used to collect these samples when the commodity 

of interest is unavailable at a terminal market 

or distribution center. In these instances, the 

commodity is selected in the rear storage area of 

the retail facility so possible contamination by 

the consumer is eliminated and allows capture 

of sample information from product boxes. In 

2009, 13.7 percent of fruit, vegetable, catfish, and 

rice samples were collected at proxy sites. The 

commodities most often collected at these facilities 

were canned beans, tomato paste, rice, and catfish. 

Beef samples were collected from designated 

slaughter facilities by trained USDA FSIS 

inspectors. Potable groundwater samples were 

collected from private domestic wells by the well 

owners and State health department technicians; 

participation in the groundwater survey is voluntary, 

with site selections based on agricultural chemical 

usage in the watershed and geographic location. 

Treated and untreated drinking water samples were 

collected onsite by trained personnel at selected 

water treatment facilities across the country.

At all sampling locations, information is usually 

available about the identity and origin of the 

sample. Sample information is captured at the time 

of collection for inclusion in the PDP database. 

PDP sample origin data identify the State or 

country where the commodity was produced. A 

comparison of PDP sample origin data to State 

production and import data by USDA’s NASS 

shows PDP sampling is representative of the U.S. 

food supply. PDP sampling operations are adjusted 

according to product availability. The number of 

fruit, vegetable, rice, and catfish samples collected 

in each participating State is determined by State 

population. The number and location of collected 

beef samples are determined by annual domestic 

production figures. The number and location of 

groundwater samples are determined based on 

geographic region, location in an agricultural area, 

and the willingness of the well owners to participate 

in the program. The quarterly collection schedule 

for all 2009 commodities is shown in Table 1. 

The number and location of drinking water samples 

from water treatment facilities are determined by 

EPA pesticide registration information needs. Each 

local watershed has its own unique characteristics; 

therefore, sample collection for this commodity is 

not intended to reflect national trends, rather PDP 

collects samples in areas where it is known that 

targeted pesticides are heavily used. 

PDP State sample collectors are trained to adhere 

to detailed program Standard Operating Procedures 

(SOPs) that provide criteria for site selection and 

specific instructions for sample selection, shipping 

and handling, and chain-of-custody. SOPs are 

updated as needed and serve as a technical reference 

in conducting program sampling reviews to ensure 
Pesticide Data Program—Annual Summary, Calendar Year 2009

program goals and objectives are met. SOPs for 

PDP sampling are available on the Internet at www.

ams.usda.gov/pdp. On a quarterly basis, sample 

collectors are provided with commodity Fact 

Sheets and Quick Reference Guides that list specific 

collection details for individual commodities that 

have been added to the program.

Temperature-sensitive samples are packed in heavyduty, temperature-controlled containers. Holding 

temperatures are preserved throughout transit time 

with the inclusion of ample frozen cold packs and 

insulating materials. Non-temperature-sensitive 

samples do not require temperature-controlled 

containers; however, they are shipped in heavyduty, well-cushioned containers. To preserve 

sample integrity, most samples are shipped the 

same day as collection by overnight delivery. 

Non-refrigerated processed commodities (canned 

beans, tomato paste, and rice) are often shipped 

by ground transportation to reduce shipping 

costs. Beef and catfish samples are collected in 

pesticide-free polyethylene bags, frozen overnight, and shipped by next-day delivery to the 

laboratory for analysis. Groundwater samples 

and raw intake and treated drinking water 

samples are collected in specially prepared bottles 

containing dechlorinating agents to halt potential 

compound degradation, packed with proper 

cushioning and cold packs, and shipped the same

Table 1. PDP Commodity Collection Schedule for 2009. Samples are most often collected for a 2-year time 

period. Commodities are initiated or terminated in different quarters of the year, so that new commodities are not 

brought into the program all at the same time. This table illustrates time ranges for the listed commodities. See 

Appendix A for the complete PDP commodity history (May 1991 through December 2010).

day as collection to their respective laboratory by 

overnight delivery. 

Electronic Sample Information Forms (e-SIFs) are 

used for chain-of-custody and to capture information 

needed to characterize the sample. Sample 

collectors use handheld or laptop computers in the 

field to record sample identification information 

such as: (1) State of sample collection, (2) collection 

date, (3) sampling site code, (4) commodity code, 

and (5) testing laboratory code. Information from 

these five data elements is combined to form 

a unique PDP identification number for each 

sample. Other available information about each 

sample is also recorded, such as collector name; 

the State or country of origin; product variety; 

production claims such as organic, post-harvest 

chemical applications; and grower, packer, and/or 

distributor locations. The e-SIFs are electronically 

mailed the same day as sample collection or, at 

the latest, by the next morning after collection to 

ensure that sample information is received at each 

laboratory by the time samples arrive for analysis. 

Refer to Section IV on Database Management for 

more information on the e-SIF system. 

Participating State agencies compile and maintain 

lists of sampling sites. In 2009, approximately 

600 sites granted access and provided information, 

including site volume data, to sample collectors. 

The States, in turn, provide AMS and NASS 

with annual volume information for commodities 

distributed at each site. This information is used 

to weight the site to determine the probability for 

sample selection. For example, a weight of 10 

may be given to a site that distributes 100,000 

pounds of produce annually and a weight of 1 is 

given to a site that distributes 10,000 pounds. The 

probability-proportionate-to-size method of site 

selection then results in the larger site being 10 

times more likely to be selected for sampling than 

the smaller site. 

Participating States work with NASS to develop 

statistical procedures for site weighting and 

selection. States are also given the option to have 

NASS perform their quarterly site selection. The 

number of sampling sites and the volume of produce 

distributed by the sites vary greatly among States. 

Sampling plans that include sampling dates, sites 

(primary and alternate), targeted commodities, and 

testing laboratories are prepared by each State on 

a quarterly basis. Collection of commodities is 

randomly assigned to weeks of the month, prior to 

selection of specific sampling dates within a week. 

Because sampling sites are selected for an entire 

quarter, States may assign the sites to particular 

months based on geographic location.

State population figures are used to assign the 

number of fruit, vegetable, and other specialty 

samples scheduled for collection each month. 

These population- and distribution-network-based 

numbers result in the following monthly collection 

assignments for each State: California, 14; 

Colorado, 2; Florida, 7; Maryland, 4; Michigan, 

6; New York, 9; Ohio, 6; Texas, 8; Washington, 

4; and Wisconsin, 2. The schedule results in a 

monthly target of 62 samples per commodity, or 

744 samples per commodity per year. During the 

third and fourth quarters of 2009, the monthly 

collection assignments changed for California (13 

samples) and Texas (9 samples).

The total number of samples collected in each State 

for each commodity is listed in Table 2. Figure 2 

illustrates the participating collection States and 

the laboratories to which samples were shipped. 

The total number of samples per commodity and 

the percentage of each that were either domestic, 

imported, or of unknown origin is shown in Figure 

3. The origin of some fresh commodities can vary 

greatly throughout the year. Graphic examples 

of this variation can be found in Figure 4 where 

differences in origin (domestic vs. import) are 

depicted by month for asparagus, cucumbers, and 

grapes. Fresh and processed fruit and vegetable, 

rice, and catfish samples originated from 45 States, 

1 U.S. territory, and 22 foreign countries (refer to 

Appendix H). Beef, groundwater, and drinking 

water samples are excluded from Appendix H 

because they rely on differential sampling frames. 

♦ Fresh and Processed Commodities 

Of all samples collected and analyzed in 2009, 

81 percent (10,792 of 13,244) were fruit and 

vegetables, including fresh and processed products. 

The fresh commodities collected for PDP were 

apples, asparagus, cilantro, cucumbers, grapes,

included canned beans (garbanzo, kidney, and pinto), 

frozen sweet corn, and tomato paste. All fresh fruit 

and vegetable samples weighed either 3 or 5 pounds 

with the exception of cilantro and organic lettuce 

samples that weighed 1 pound. Three pounds were 

collected for smaller, low-weight commodities such 

as asparagus and strawberries and 5 pounds were 

collected for larger, high-weight commodities such as 

apples and oranges. For processed samples, canned 

bean samples weighed 28 ounces; frozen sweet corn 

niblets weighed 3 pounds, and canned tomato paste 

weighed 16 ounces.

♦ Organic Lettuce

In 2009, PDP collected and analyzed 387 samples 

of organic lettuce. Samples were collected from 

routine PDP sampling sites, which included major 

distribution centers and terminal markets. Samples 

included both 1-pound unbagged organic lettuce and 

prebagged organic lettuce. Analysis was performed 

by the Colorado Department of Agriculture 

laboratory. Results for organic lettuce are shown in 

Appendix B.

♦ Rice 

In 2009, PDP collected 435 samples of milled rice. 

Samples were collected from routine PDP sampling 

sites, which included major distribution centers 

and terminal markets. Three-pound rice samples 

included short, medium, and long grain white rice, 

brown rice, basmati rice, jasmine rice, and texmati 

rice. Further processed rice types, such as Minute 

Rice® and Uncle Ben’s Rice® were not included 

in the sampling scheme. Analysis was performed 

by the USDA Grain Inspection, Packers and 

Stockyards Administration (GIPSA) Laboratory in 

Kansas City, MO. Results for rice are shown in 

Appendix C. 

♦ Beef

Between January and May 2009, 584 beef samples 

were collected for PDP by trained FSIS inspectors. 

The inspectors collected samples from cows, 

heifers, and steers at designated slaughter facilities, 

separately bagged each tissue in pesticide-free 

polyethylene bags, labeled, and froze the samples 

overnight. Once frozen, the samples were packed 

with frozen cold packs in tamper-proof boxes 

and shipped by overnight delivery to the NSL in

Gastonia, NC, for analysis. FSIS used specially 

designed Unified Sampling Forms that contain all 

required PDP sample information. The forms were 

completed onsite and accompanied each sample 

during shipment. A sample was comprised of 1 

pound of adipose and 1 pound of muscle from a 

single animal. A total of 292 adipose and 292 muscle 

samples were collected. Samples were taken from 47 

slaughter facilities in 19 States at rates according to 

throughput volume (refer to Figure 5 for distribution 

of samples in each State). The cattle were raised in 

29 States and Canada. Results for beef are shown in 

Appendix D.

♦ Catfish

In 2009, PDP continued the catfish survey which 

began in 2008. Data were needed to examine 

levels of pesticides present in catfish, whether from 

environmental contaminants or from pesticides 

used in aquaculture. Current, comprehensive data 

on pesticide residues on fish available to the U.S. 

consumer is largely unavailable. Sampling was 

designed to capture domestic and imported products, 

including farm-raised catfish. Catfish represents the 

largest sector in the domestic aquaculture industry.

order of production, Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas, 

and Louisiana. The primary import countries are 

China and Vietnam. PDP sampled catfish available at 

designated sampling locations regardless of country of 

origin, in order to capture results for catfish consumed 

by the American public.

PDP collected and analyzed 543 catfish samples in 

2009. Each sample consisted of 1 pound of fresh 

or frozen raw catfish. Proxy/retail sites provided 

59.3 percent of catfish samples, while distribution 

centers provided 31.5 percent of samples, terminal 

markets 3.9 percent, and wholesale or specialty fish 

markets 5.3 percent. Whole catfish samples were 

not collected; rather, only fillets, nuggets, strips, or 

steaks were obtained for testing. Both bones-in and 

no bones were acceptable sample types. To ensure 

catfish samples arrived at the laboratory in acceptable 

condition, samples were first frozen overnight and 

then shipped the following day by overnight air with 

ample frozen cold packs and insulating materials 

surrounding all sample units. Analysis was performed 

by the NSL, Gastonia, NC. 

Although naming conventions vary across States and 

regions of the United States and among countries, 

PDP sample collectors relied solely on the label for 

identification of catfish (fillets, nuggets, strips and 

steaks) regardless of the family, genus, or species 

names that may or may not have been listed on the 

product. Farm-raised or wild, and domestic or 

imported catfish were collected on a random, as 

available basis. The majority of samples were farmraised and of domestic origin. Approximately 80 

percent of the samples were farm-raised, less than 

1 percent was wild-caught, and the remainder of 

the samples had no available source information. 

Approximately 74 percent of the samples originated 

in the United States, 24 percent were imported, and 

1 percent were of unknown origin. These collection 

percentages are consistent with the U.S. Department 

of Commerce and NASS data on domestic production 

figures for 2009. Distribution of residues in catfish 

may be found in Appendix E.

♦ Drinking Water

Potable Groundwater from Domestic Wells

Approximately 15 percent of the U.S. population 

obtains its domestic water from private wells. Many 

of these wells are located in agricultural areas and 

may be susceptible to pesticides, so in dietary 

risk assessments, it is necessary to monitor these 

shallow groundwater wells to account for exposure 

for this population through water consumption. 

Some pesticides bind tightly to soils and therefore 

are unlikely to be found in groundwater; others, such 

as water-soluble pesticides, can move through soil 

to reach the water table. Movement of pesticides 

in soils and rock is much slower than in surface 

water – for example, pesticide movement in soils 

and rock can be measured in centimeters per year 

while movement in surface water is measured in 

meters per year. Because of these differences in 

mobility, pesticide concentrations in groundwater 

are much less variable and samples do not need 

to be taken as frequently. Consequently, for these 

groundwater studies, a single monthly sample was 

taken rather than the bimonthly samples taken for 

surface water.

In 2009, PDP performed three groundwater 

studies: one for wells used as drinking water 

sources for farm field workers; one for school/

childcare facilities with onsite wells used for 

potable supplies; and one as a continuation of 

private domestic wells testing. The expense of 

testing for a large suite of pesticide residues at 

part-per-trillion levels is cost-prohibitive to most 

farmers, schools, and homeowners, as well as to 

county and State governments. PDP collaborated 

with these groups on sample collection and 

provided them with their individual sample 

results. 

Agricultural farm field workers, because of their 

work environment, are a subpopulation with a 

higher potential of pesticide exposure. In many 

circumstances, a well with a water supply deemed 

potable is used for drinking water by these 

farm field workers. The 2009 farm field study 

was conducted in conjunction with the Florida 

Department of Health, which sampled wells in 

six Florida counties. The wells were known to 

be used as potable supplies for field workers and 

were within 300 feet of pesticide tank mix/rinse/

fill sites. For this project, 95 wells were tested.

Schools and childcare facilities are often located 

on town perimeters due to lower land costs. 
Pesticide Data Program—Annual Summary, Calendar Year 2009

Bringing utilities to these remote locations can 

be expensive; therefore, onsite wells are often 

used for water supplies. As children are most 

susceptible to pesticides during their growth 

and development years and spend a significant 

portion of their lives at these locations, it is critical 

to have adequate data to evaluate childrens 

potential exposure to pesticides through the 

consumption of water. A total of 113 school/

childcare facility wells were sampled in 2009; 

this project is continuing in 2010.

PDP tested private residence wells, a continuation of a groundwater study that began in 

2007. In 2009, PDP tested 70 wells in 7 States 

(see Figure 6). When pesticides are detected 

in groundwater, the source is not always the 

immediate surface above, but can be where the 

water is entering, or recharging, the aquifer. Thus, 

if pesticides are being used in the recharge zone, 

they may be transported through the aquifer to the 

well. The transport times from recharge points 

(where surface water and precipitation enter the 

ground in route to the aquifer) to the wells can 

take a significant amount of time, from many days 

to years. During this time, microbial and chemical 

degradation of the pesticide can occur. 

A total of 278 groundwater samples from 

wells used for potable water supplies located 

in agricultural regions (95 samples), schools/

childcare facilities (113 samples), and private 

residences (70 samples) in 16 States were 

collected. Each well was sampled by the well 

owner, or in Florida, by State health department

technicians. Sampling was performed at the well 

head or kitchen faucet following morning showers 

to ensure that all water from the pressure tank and 

any storage tanks were used and that the water was 

fresh from the well and not stagnant. It is assumed 

that most households do not spray household 

pesticides around the kitchen faucet; therefore, 

the chance of contamination is minimal. Figure 6 

shows the distribution of groundwater collection 

sites for the 2009 PDP testing program.

Municipal Drinking Water

In 2001, PDP began testing municipal waters 

drawing from surface water sources since surface 

water is more vulnerable to pesticides than 

municipal waters that draw from groundwater 

sources. Most municipal systems drawing from 

groundwater draw from fairly deep (>200 foot) 

aquifers that are not affected by pesticides. 

The sample collection sites are community water 

systems that draw water from surface water sources. 

Site selection was made in collaboration with EPA’s 

Office of Pesticide Programs and Office of Water. 

All selected sites met the following criteria: (1) use 

of surface water as the primary source of water and 

(2) location in regions of heavy agriculture where 

known amounts of targeted pesticides of interest 

were applied. Water treatment method was not a 

part of the selection criteria.

Samples were collected bimonthly by trained water 

treatment facility personnel. Paired samples of the 

raw intake water (untreated) and disinfected and 

finished drinking water (treated) were collected 

for analysis. Treated water samples were collected 

after the untreated samples at a time interval 

consistent with the hydraulic residence. Hydraulic 

residence is the average time from entry into the 

treatment facility until distribution as treated 

water. Dechlorination and preservative chemicals 

were added to the samples at the time of collection. 

Samples were packed with frozen cold packs and 

shipped overnight to the testing laboratories. 

Figure 7 shows the distribution of drinking water 

sites for the 2009 PDP testing program. Untreated 

and finished drinking water samples were collected 

from community water systems from 13 sites in 11 

States - Alabama, California, Georgia, Illinois (2 

sites), Kansas, New York, North Carolina, North 

Dakota, Ohio, Texas, and Virginia (2 sites). Each 

watershed reflects the local topography, watershed 

size, geomorphology, soil types, geology, land 

use, land management practices, crop varieties, 

pesticides applied, and application methods. Due 

to the complexities associated with water quality 

assessments, these data reflect only the unique 

characteristics of the watersheds from which the 

samples were obtained.

III. Laboratory Operations 

♦ Overview

Thirteen laboratories (10 State and 3 Federal) 

performed analyses for PDP. These laboratories 

are equipped with instrumentation capable of 

detecting residues at very low levels. Laboratory 

staff members receive intensive training and 

must demonstrate analytical proficiency on an 

ongoing basis. Program scientists continually test 

new technologies and develop new techniques to 

improve the levels of detection. Major changes 

in methodology are evaluated and their soundness 

demonstrated and documented in accordance with 

PDP SOPs.

♦ Fresh and Processed Commodities

Fruit and vegetable samples were tested for 309 

parent pesticides, metabolites, degradates, and/

or isomers using Multiresidue Methods (MRMs). 

Upon arrival at the testing facility, samples 

of fresh commodities were visually examined 

for acceptability and discarded if determined 

to be inedible (decayed, extensively bruised, 

or spoiled). Except for oranges and bagged 

processed products, samples were washed under 

gently running cold water, emulating the practices 

of the average consumer to more closely represent 

actual exposure to residues. Samples were not 

cooked, bleached, or washed with detergents. 

Additionally, any inedible or damaged portions 

were removed prior to further preparation. For 

example, apples were cored and stems removed; 

oranges were peeled; sweet corn was husked 

and kernels removed from the cob, etc. Bagged 

processed commodities were not washed or cooked

prior to homogenization. Tomato paste was 

reconstituted with a designated portion of water 

to facilitate extraction prior to homogenization. 

Detailed information on sample preparation for 

each commodity is available in the Laboratory 

Operations (PDP-LABOP) Standard Operating 

Procedure on the PDP Web site at www.ams.

usda.gov/pdp. 

Laboratories are permitted to refrigerate, up to 

72 hours, incoming fresh fruit and vegetable 

samples of the same commodity to allow for 

different sample arrival times from collection 

sites. Frozen and canned commodities may be 

held in storage (freezer or shelf) until the entire 

sample set is ready for analysis. 

Samples are homogenized using choppers and/

or blenders and separated into analytical portions 

(aliquots) for analysis. If testing cannot be 

performed immediately, the entire analytical set 

is frozen at -40°C or lower, according to PDP’s 

Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) 

requirements. Surplus aliquots not used for the 

initial testing are retained frozen in the event that 

replication of analysis or verification testing is 

required.

For analysis of fruit and vegetables, residues 

are extracted using organic solvents followed 

by various cleanup procedures such as Solid 

Phase Extraction (SPE). The California, Florida, 

Michigan, and Washington laboratories used 
Pesticide Data Program—Annual Summary, Calendar Year 2009

16

various QuEChERS-based1 approaches. The 

Texas laboratory used a modification of the MRM 

developed by the California Department of Food 

and Agriculture (CDFA). The New York laboratory 

used a method based on the Agriculture and AgriFood Canada SPE method with some modifications 

based on the Luke procedure. The Ohio laboratory 

used variations and combinations of the FDA Luke 

I [Section 302 of Pesticide Analytical Manual I] 

and Luke II [FDA Laboratory Information Bulletin 

3896] extraction procedures. All MRMs are 

determined, prior to use and through appropriate 

method validation procedures, to produce equivalent 

data for PDP analytical purposes.

PDP laboratories primarily use gas chromatography 

(GC) and liquid chromatography (LC) instrumentation, coupled with tandem mass spectrometry 

(MS) detection systems for the simultaneous 

identification/confirmation and quantitation of 

pesticides. The use of these GC-MS/MS and LCMS/MS systems allows the program to capture 

data for a broad spectrum of pesticides, including 

emerging product chemistries.

♦ Organic Lettuce

The Colorado laboratory tested organic lettuce 

samples for 57 parent pesticides, metabolites, 

degradates, and/or isomers, including an emphasis 

on environmental contaminants and compounds 

used in organic farming practices. Upon arrival at 

the testing facility, samples were visually examined 

for acceptability and discarded if determined to be 

inedible (decayed, extensively bruised, or spoiled). 

Accepted samples were prepared emulating the 

practices of the average consumer to more closely 

represent actual exposure to residues. For fresh 

lettuce, except bagged products, damaged/wilted 

and/or wrapper leaves were discarded, and the 

fresh leaves washed; bagged lettuce samples were 

not washed prior to homogenization. Samples were 

homogenized using food choppers and extracted 

using a modification of the QuEChERS method. 

Samples were analyzed using GC-MS and LC-MS/

MS systems.

♦ Beef and Catfish

The AMS NSL in Gastonia, NC, tested beef adipose 

and muscle tissues for 147 parent pesticides, 

metabolites, degradates, and/or isomers and 

catfish samples for 196 analytes. Upon arrival 

at the testing facility, samples were visually 

examined for acceptability and discarded if 

warm to the touch, spoiled, or leaking. If not 

homogenized immediately after arrival, samples 

were frozen at 0°C or lower until homogenized. 

Samples were homogenized by grinding with 

dry ice in a large, high-speed food processor. 

Sample homogenates were placed into sample 

cups (approximately 60 grams per cup) and 

allowed to sublime at -20°C overnight before 

storing at -70°C prior to analysis. A 20-gram 

aliquot was weighed for each sample followed 

by organic solvent extraction and sample 

cleanup using ultra-low refrigeration (-70°C), 

centrifugation, and dispersive SPE. Two extra 

sample homogenate cups, not used for the initial 

testing, were retained frozen in the event that 

replication of analysis or verification testing was 

required. Samples were analyzed using GC-MS 

and LC-MS/MS.

♦ Rice

The USDA GIPSA laboratory in Kansas City, 

MO, analyzed rice samples for 81 parent 

pesticides, metabolites, degradates, and/or 

isomers. Upon arrival at the testing facility, 

samples were visually examined for acceptability 

and discarded if spoiled, or otherwise inedible. 

Rice samples were refrigerated at 4°C or lower 

until time of grinding, after which the samples are 

stored at -80°C until extraction. Surplus sample 

aliquots, not used for the initial testing, were 

retained refrigerated in the event that replication 

of analysis or verification testing was required. 

Extraction of rice samples was accomplished 

using an acetonitrile-based solvent extraction 

and SPE cleanup coupled with GC-MS and LCMS/MS detection.

♦ Potable Groundwater from Agricultural/

Farm, School/Childcare Facility, and Domestic 

Wells

In 2009, PDP performed three groundwater 

studies: one for agricultural wells used as 

drinking water sources for field workers; one for 

school/childcare facilities with onsite wells used 

for potable supplies, and one as a continuation 
Pesticide Data Program—Annual Summary, Calendar Year 2009

17

of private domestic wells testing. Agricultural 

wells providing drinking water to agricultural 

workers in fields are regulated by EPA’s Office 

of Water under the Safe Drinking Water Act 

(SDWA) as transient, non-community water 

systems, while schools and childcare facilities are 

regulated under the SDWA as non-transient, noncommunity water systems. Testing for pesticides 

under the SDWA is limited to 23 compounds that 

have established maximum contaminant levels 

(MCLs). These compounds include only parent 

compounds–no metabolites are tested. In both 

surface and groundwater, metabolites, rather 

than parent compounds, are often detected, or the 

concentration of the metabolite is much greater 

than that of the parent compound. Metabolites 

are often more water-soluble and stable than the 

parent pesticide. EPA does not have established 

MCL levels or testing requirements for these 

metabolites. 

Private residential wells supply drinking water to 

approximately 15 percent of the U.S. population. 

Private wells serving a single or a few families 

are not regulated under SDWA, nor by other 

EPA statutes. These wells are typically fairly 

shallow and are often sourcing the closest, or 

most shallow, water source. Homes with wells 

tend to be located in more rural locations, often 

in agricultural areas. Due to the cost of analysis, 

data on pesticides and metabolites is scarce. In 

2009, PDP continued testing of private residential 

wells for pesticide residues.

The Minnesota laboratory analyzed groundwater 

samples for 94 parent pesticides, metabolites, and 

isomers. These compounds were determined to 

be of interest to EPA based on data needs for risk 

assessment as required under FQPA. Each sample 

consisted of three 1-liter amber glass bottles. 

Upon arrival at the testing laboratory, samples 

were visually examined for acceptability (within 

96 hours of collection with no leakage). Samples 

were refrigerated until time of analysis. One 

liter of the sample was extracted for compounds 

amenable to GC-MS analysis and one liter was 

extracted for compounds amenable to LC-MS/

MS. A third bottle was held in reserve in case of 

breakage or laboratory accident. 

♦ Municipal Drinking Water

The Montana and New York laboratories analyzed 

drinking water for 216 parent pesticides, metabolites, 

degradates, and isomers. These compounds were 

determined to be of interest to EPA based on data 

needs for risk assessment as required under FQPA. 

Each sample consisted of three 1-liter amber glass 

bottles collected at the water treatment facility. 

Upon arrival at the testing laboratory, samples were 

visually examined for acceptability and discarded 

if warm to the touch or leaking. Samples were 

refrigerated until time of analysis and extracted 

within 96 hours of collection. A 1-liter bottle 

was extracted for compounds amenable to GCMS or GC-MS/MS analysis and another bottle 

was extracted for compounds amenable to LCMS/MS analysis. The remaining bottle was held 

in reserve or extracted for specialty compounds 

requiring separate extraction/analytical procedures 

(e.g., pharmaceutical compounds). The extraction 

methods used were initially based on SPE methods 

developed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS); 

these methods were modified to capture specific 

analytes of interest and were independently validated 

by each testing laboratory. 

♦ Quality Assurance Program

The primary objectives of the QA/QC program 

are to ensure the reliability of PDP data and the 

performance equivalency of the participating 

laboratories. Direction for the PDP QA program 

is provided through SOPs initially based on EPA 

Good Laboratory Practices (GLPs). The PDP 

SOPs provide uniform administrative and sampling 

procedures, as well as laboratory operations and data 

analyses guidelines. The program SOPs are revised 

annually to accommodate changes in the program 

and are aligned with International Organization for 

Standardization (ISO) requirements. PDP State 

food laboratories are accredited to ISO 17025.

Laboratory Technical Advisory Group and Quality 

Assurance Officers: A Technical Advisory Group, 

comprised of laboratory Technical Program 

Managers (TPMs) and Quality Assurance Officers 

(QAOs), is responsible for annually reviewing 

program SOPs and addressing QA issues. For dayto-day QA oversight, PDP relies on the Quality 
Pesticide Data Program—Annual Summary, Calendar Year 2009

18

Assurance Unit (QAU) at each participating 

facility. The QAU operates independently from 

the laboratory staff and is responsible for reviewing 

all data generated for PDP and for performing 

quarterly, internal program audits. Preliminary 

data review procedures are performed onsite by 

each laboratory’s QAU. Final review procedures 

are performed by MPO staff that are responsible 

for collating and reviewing data for conformance 

with SOPs.

Method Performance Requirements: Laboratories 

are required to determine and verify the limits of 

detection (LODs) and limits of quantitation (LOQs) 

for each pesticide/commodity pair. LODs depend 

on matrix, analyte, and methods used (extraction 

and instrumental). LODs for each pesticide/

commodity pair are shown in the applicable crop 

results appendix. Additional method performance/

validation requirements include modules for 

consistent instrument response (linearity), method 

range, and precision and accuracy.

Identification/Confirmation: Identification and 

confirmation is performed primarily by MS 

technologies. Residue amounts greater than 

or equal to LOD and below LOQ are reported 

as below quantifiable level (BQL). BQLs are 

assigned values at one-half the LOQ, and are used 

along with values greater than or equal to LOQ 

and non-detects in dietary risk assessments, when 

appropriate.

Routine Quality Control Procedures: PDP 

procedures for QC are intended to assess 

method and analyst performance during sample 

preparation, extraction, and cleanup. To maximize 

sample output and decrease the QC/sample ratio, 

samples are analyzed in analytical sets that include 

the test samples and the following components:

• Reagent Blank - For analysis of fruit and 

vegetables, beef, catfish, and rice, an amount of 

distilled water, equivalent to the natural moisture 

content of the commodity, is run through the entire 

analytical process to confirm glassware cleanliness 

and system integrity.

• Matrix Blank - A previously analyzed sample 

of the same commodity, which contains either 

very low concentrations of known residues or no 

detectable residues, is divided into two portions. 

The first portion is used to determine background 

information on naturally occurring chemicals and 

the second to prepare a matrix spike.

• Matrix Spike(s) - Prior to extraction, a portion 

of matrix blank is spiked with marker pesticides to 

determine the precision and accuracy of the analyst 

and instrument performance. Marker pesticides 

are compounds selected from different pesticide 

classes (e.g., organochlorines, organophosphates, 

carbamates, conazoles, imidazolinones, macrocyclic 

lactones, neonicotinyls, phenoxy acid herbicides, 

pyrethroids, strobilurins, sulfonyl urea herbicides, 

triazines, uracils), with physical and chemical 

characteristics representative of their corresponding 

pesticide class. Marker pesticides may be used to 

monitor recovery instead of spiking all pesticides. 

This use of marker pesticides optimizes the resources 

required to analyze the thousands of analyte/matrix 

combinations in the program while still allowing 

evaluation of daily recovery patterns. In addition, 

each laboratory must perform matrix spikes at 

least quarterly for each analyte/crop combination it 

reports. Some laboratories choose to rotate spikes 

of all compounds on a set-to-set basis or spike all 

compounds analyzed with each set, so that the 

amount of spike recovery data obtained actually 

exceeds the minimal requirements previously stated. 

During 2009, PDP laboratories quantitated a total of 

74,085 matrix spikes, with an overall mean recovery 

of 97 percent and an overall percent coefficient of 

variation (% C.V.) of 27 percent. The % C.V. is 

calculated as the standard deviation divided by the 

mean.

• Process Control Spike - A compound with physical 

and chemical characteristics similar to those of 

the pesticides being tested is used to evaluate the 

analytical process on a sample-by-sample basis. 

Each of the analytical set components, except 

the reagent and matrix blanks, is spiked with 

process controls. During 2009, PDP laboratories 

quantitated a total of 44,823 process controls on 

13,244 samples, with an overall mean recovery of 

96 percent and an overall % C.V. of 19 percent. Of 

these process controls, 193 (0.4%) were reruns due 

to initial failure to meet PDP recovery criteria. The 

rerun values are not included in these statistics.
Pesticide Data Program—Annual Summary, Calendar Year 2009

Proficiency Testing: All facilities are required 

to participate in PDP’s Proficiency Testing 

(PT) program. In order to properly benchmark 

performance, PDP laboratories participate in 

two international PT programs: AOAC and the 

Food Analysis Performance Assessment Scheme 

(FAPAS) PT program, administered by the 

Central Science Laboratory, York, UK. In 2009, 

PDP laboratories that routinely analyze fruit and 

vegetables via MRMs participated in two AOAC 

rounds, one for pears and one for cucumbers. 

Pears were spiked with 10 compounds and 

cucumbers with 8 compounds. PDP fruit and 

vegetable laboratories participated in one FAPAS 

round of apples that contained six fortified 

analytes. The GIPSA laboratory also participated 

in a FAPAS round for rice multiresidue analysis 

and the Colorado laboratory participated in a 

FAPAS multiresidue pear round; the rice and 

pear sample sets contained three and six fortified 

analytes, respectively. For AOAC and FAPAS, 

laboratories were evaluated based on z-scores for 

reported compounds, as well as any reported false 

negatives or false positives. PDP laboratories 

typically obtained z-scores less than two, which is 

deemed satisfactory performance.

In addition, PDP laboratories participate in an 

internal PT program that is tailored to current 

PDP commodities and testing profiles, including 

commodities for products other than fruit and 

vegetables that are not typically available from an 

outside source. For this internal program, the CDFA 

QAU prepares and issues rounds designed by MPO. 

Spiking compounds are selected with specificity 

and levels for each commodity. Fortification 

levels of selected analytes are generally 1 to 10 

times the program LOQ for that commodity/

compound pair. For each multiresidue round, one 

compound per set is typically repeated within the 

round to provide an indicator of repeatability. The 

resulting data are used to determine performance 

equivalency among the testing laboratories and 

to evaluate individual laboratory performance. 

During 2009, PDP laboratories received:

- Two multiresidue fruit and vegetable PT rounds 

(canned beans and sweet corn), each consisting of 

three test samples. Each round was fortified with 

a total of 12 compounds.

- One beef set consisting of 2 samples that were 

fortified with a total of 12 compounds, and

- One formetanate round consisting of fortified 

apple, orange, and pear samples. 

For water, 2 proficiency sample sets were analyzed 

during 2009, with 11 compounds fortified in each 

round. Custom-designed test solutions, based on 

testing profiles and detection limits, were used for 

spiking, rather than distribution of spiked samples, 

due to stability concerns. For each PT set, the 

vendor supplied the laboratory’s QAU with the 

specified solution, which was diluted according to 

program protocols. This solution was then used 

to fortify replicate samples collected from PDP 

sampling sites whose samples historically contained 

multiple pesticides but not those included in the 

spike solution. The spiked samples then were 

presented to the staff members of each respective 

laboratory for analysis.

Onsite Reviews: MPO staff performs onsite 

visits to determine compliance with PDP SOPs. 

Improvements in sampling, chain-of-custody, 

laboratory, recordkeeping, and electronic data 

transmission procedures are made as a result of 

onsite reviews.

IV. Database Management

 

PDP maintains an electronic database at the MPO 

in Manassas, VA, that serves as a central data 

repository. The data captured and stored in the PDP 

database include sample collection and product 

information, residue findings, and process control 

recoveries for each sample analyzed, in addition 

to QA/QC fortified recoveries for each set of 

samples. Each calendar-year survey is stored in a 

separate database structure, which allows easier 

administration and data reporting. The PDP data 

path is illustrated in Figure 8.

♦ Electronic Data Path

 

PDP utilizes the Remote Data Entry (RDE) system, 

which is a customized software application that 

allows participating State and Federal laboratories 

to enter and transmit data electronically. The RDE 

system is centralized with all user interface software

and database files residing in Washington, D.C. 

The laboratory users need only a Web browser 

to interface with the RDE system. Access is 

controlled through separate user login/password 

accounts and user access rights for the various 

system functions based on position requirements. 

The RDE system utilizes Secure Sockets Layer 

(SSL) technology to encrypt all data passed 

between users’ computers and the central Web 

server. 

A separate Windows®-based system allows 

sample collectors to capture the standardized 

Sample Information Form (SIF) electronically on 

handheld or laptop computers. The e-SIF system 

generates formatted text files containing sample 

information that are e-mailed to PDP headquarters 

and then imported into the Web-based RDE 

system.

The RDE data entry screens have extensive 

editing functions and cross-checks built into the 

software to ensure valid values are entered for all 

critical data elements. This task is made easier by 

the practice of capturing and storing standardized 

codes for all critical alphanumeric data elements 

rather than their complete names, meanings, or 

descriptions. This coding scheme allows for faster 

and more accurate data entry, saves disk storage 

space, and allows the user to perform ad-hoc 

queries (data searches) on the database easily. The 

data entry screens also perform automatic edits on 

numeric fields, dates, and other character fields to 

ensure entries are within prescribed boundaries. 

At PDP headquarters, the RDE system allows 

staff chemists to review the data on-line and then 

to mark the data as ready-for-upload to the central 

PDP database. A separate upload application 

converts and passes the data to the PDP database, 

which is maintained using Microsoft® Access and 

SQL Server database tools. Access to the central 

PDP database is limited to MPO personnel only 

and is controlled through password protection 

and user access rights.

♦ Data Reporting 

The MPO staff frequently receives requests for 

data from Government agencies and interested 

outside parties. Ad-hoc queries and custom reports 

are generated to fill such requests. An electronic 

library of data queries is maintained to generate 

standardized data summaries, including the data 

tables, charts, and appendices in this annual 

summary. Subsets of the PDP calendar year 

databases are made available for download from 

the PDP Web site. The data files on the Web site 

are delimited text files that contain a portion of 

the sampling data, all reported residue findings, 

and reference lists that can be used to interpret 

the standardized codes used in the PDP data. The 

data files can be imported into defined database 

structures and manipulated using common database 

management software packages.

V. Sample Results and Discussion

♦ Sample Results

In 2009, PDP conducted surveys on a variety 

of foods including fresh and processed fruit 

and vegetables, rice, beef muscle and adipose, 

catfish, groundwater, and treated and untreated 

drinking water. Of the 13,244 samples collected 

and analyzed, 10,792 were fresh and processed 

fruit and vegetable commodities, 435 were rice 

samples, 292 were beef adipose samples, 292 were 

beef muscle samples, 543 were catfish samples, 

278 were groundwater samples, and 612 were 

drinking water samples. Appendix B tabulates the 

distribution of residues in fruit and vegetables for 

the complete 2009 data set. Information included 

in this appendix are: number of samples analyzed 

for a particular compound; number and percent of 

samples with detections; range of concentrations 

detected; range of analytical LODs; and EPA 

tolerance levels or FDA action levels. Appendices 

C, D, E, F and G provide the distribution of residues 

for rice, beef, catfish, groundwater, and treated 

and untreated drinking water, respectively. The 

individual sample data can be downloaded from 

the PDP Website at http://www.ams.usda.gov/pdp 

or obtained by contacting MPO.

For fresh and processed fruit and vegetables, rice, 

and beef, approximately 78.7 percent of all samples 

were produced in the United States, 20.1 percent 

were imports, 0.3 percent of mixed origin, and 0.9 

percent of unknown origin. Appendix H shows the 
Pesticide Data Program—Annual Summary, Calendar Year 2009

22

distribution of sample origin by State or country. 

Of the domestic samples, approximately 37 

percent (3,574 of 9,723) were grown, packed, and/

or distributed in or from California. Groundwater 

and drinking water are excluded from Appendix 

H since the samples targeted rely on differential 

sampling frames and are not collected from routine 

PDP sample collection locations (i.e., terminal 

markets and large chain store distribution centers 

throughout the country). Groundwater samples 

are collected from agricultural/farm wells, school/

childcare facility wells, and private domestic 

wells and treated and untreated drinking water 

samples are collected by water treatment facilities. 

Appendix I includes a comparison of residues for 

selected commodities with a significant import 

component.

Food monitoring data, together with dietary 

consumption surveys, are used by EPA to estimate 

dietary exposure to pesticides to ensure the safety 

of existing pesticide uses. EPA uses all results 

reported by PDP, including sample results reported 

as below the LOD and those above the tolerance. 

PDP laboratories are required to establish LODs 

and report any instrumental response below the 

LOD as a non-detect. LODs are established 

experimentally for each pesticide/commodity 

pair and are reported with each data set. The 

number of non-detects can be used in conjunction 

with percent crop treated data to determine what 

proportion of these values may be counted as 

zero towards the dietary exposure. As shown in 

Table 3, 98.7 percent of the analyses performed 

across all fresh and processed fruit and vegetable 

commodities, rice, and beef were reported as nondetects (i.e., results were below the established 

LOD). For samples containing residues, the 

vast majority of the detections were well below 

established tolerances.

♦ Import vs. Domestic Residue Comparisons 

Information about the origin of each PDP sample 

is recorded when the sample is collected. Figure 3 

illustrates the portion of the domestic and import 

component for each of the PDP fruit and vegetable 

commodities in 2009. The data generated by PDP 

reflect pesticide residues in foods, both domestic 

and imported products, available to the U.S. 

consumer. Many commodities are almost entirely of 

domestic origin, such as potatoes (98.4%) and sweet 

potatoes (98.9%) with only minor import (1.2% 

and 0%, respectively) and unknown components 

(0.4% and 1.1%, respectively). However, some 

fresh commodities, such as asparagus, cucumbers, 

and grapes, are from domestic growers part of the 

year and imported during the remaining months, as 

illustrated in Figure 4.

Comparisons of selected residues detected in 

imported versus domestic cucumbers and grapes 

can be found in Appendix I. These sample sets 

were selected to compare data where residues are 

present in greater than 10 percent of the commodity 

and allow for the comparison of individual residues. 

These data also show that the residue profiles for 

domestic and imported crops are significantly 

different. 

The cucumber data in Appendix I illustrate that 

in 2009 cyromazine, endosulfan I/II/sulfate, 

and metalaxyl were detected more frequently in 

imported samples than in domestic samples. For 

example, cyromazine was detected in 20.2 percent 

of the samples from Mexico and 2.5 percent of the 

U.S. samples. Endosulfan I, II, and sulfate were 

detected in 39.8 percent, 31.1 percent, and 39.0 

percent of the Mexican samples, respectively and 

in 19.8 percent, 19.2 percent, and 19.8 percent of 

the domestic samples, respectively. Metalaxyl was 

detected in 24.3 percent of the Mexican samples and 

in 13.2 percent of the U.S. samples. Carbendazim, 

oxamyl and its oxime metabolite, and thiamethoxam 

were detected with relatively equal frequency in 

both the U.S. and Mexican cucumbers. 

For grapes, cyprodinil, fenhexamid, fludioxonil, 

imidacloprid, iprodione, myclobutanil, quinoxyfen, 

and tebuconazole were detected more often in the 

imported grape samples than in the domestic grape 

samples while methoxyfenozide and trifloxystrobin 

were detected more frequently in U.S. samples 

than in Chilean samples. Cyprodinil was detected 

in 31.5 percent of the Chilean grape samples 

compared to 19.6 percent of the domestic samples. 

Fenhexamid was detected in 70.6 percent of the 

Chilean samples compared to 18.1 percent of the 

domestic samples while fludioxonil was detected 

in 45.8 percent of the Chilean samples compared

to 1.6 percent of the U.S. samples. Imidacloprid, 

iprodione, and myclobutanil were detected in 

60.1 percent, 36.4 percent, and 43.7 percent of the 

Chilean samples, respectively, and in 45.0 percent, 

4.2 percent, and 27.2 percent of the domestic 

samples, respectively. Quinoxyfen was detected 

in 37.6 percent of the Chilean samples and in 23.2 

percent of the U.S. samples while tebuconazole 

was detected in 29.7 percent of the Chilean samples 

and in 16.2 percent of the domestic samples. 

Methoxyfenozide was detected in 36.4 percent of 

the U.S. samples and in 25.9 percent of the Chilean 

samples and trifloxystrobin was detected in 37.7 

percent of the U.S. samples and in 18.5 percent of 

the Chilean samples. Boscalid, pyraclostrobin, and 

pyrimethanil were detected with relatively equal 

frequency in both the U.S. and Chilean grapes.

All pesticides detected were registered in the U.S., 

however, the profiles of residue findings were 

markedly different in the U.S. samples versus 

samples from these exporting countries. The 

differences in residue detections between countries 

were likely due to the pesticides used in response 

to pest pressures based on differing environmental, 

climatic, and growing conditions.

♦ Postharvest Applications

Pesticides can be applied before and after harvest 

depending on the crop and approved label use. 

PDP data capture both preharvest and postharvest 

uses because samples are collected at points when 

all pesticide applications have already occurred. 

Pesticides applied postharvest are used primarily 

as fungicides (e.g., azoxystrobin, imazalil, 

o-phenylphenol, and thiabendazole) and sprouting 

inhibitors (e.g., chlorpropham). Some detections 

reported in Appendix B most likely reflect 

postharvest applications to the raw agricultural 

commodity.

♦ Environmental Contaminants

Environmental contaminants are pesticides whose 

uses have been canceled in the United States, but 

their residues persist in the environment, particularly 

in soil, where they may be taken up by plants. PDP 

tracks environmental contaminants to monitor their 

presence in the environment and provides these data 

to Codex Alimentarius. These data are also used to 

facilitate international trade.

DDT, DDD, and DDE: PDP screened samples for 

various metabolites of DDT including: DDT o,p’; 

DDT p,p’; DDD o,p’; DDD p,p’; DDE o,p’; and 

DDE p,p’. Use of DDT has been prohibited in 

the United States since 1972; however, due to its 

persistence in the environment, residues of DDT 

and its DDD and DDE metabolites were detected in 

some commodities tested. DDE p,p’ was detected 

mainly in catfish (65.0%), beef adipose tissues 

(23.6%), spinach (20.8%), and cilantro (19.6%). 

Except for cilantro, all residues detected were 

lower than the FDA Action Levels (ALs). Cilantro 

DDE p,p’ residues are not covered by ALs and 

are therefore, reported as presumptive violations. 

Details of residue results for DDT, DDD, and DDE 

may be found in Appendices B, C, D, E, and G.

Other Extraneous Pesticides: PDP screened samples 

for other extraneous residues (environmental 

contaminants) including: aldrin; BHC; chlordane 

(cis/trans) and its metabolite oxychlordane; dieldrin; 

endrin; heptachlor and its epoxide metabolite; and 

hexachlorobenzene (HCB). HCB was used as a 

seed protectant until 1965 but, due to its persistence, 

remains in soil and grasses. In 1974, all aldrin and 

dieldrin uses were canceled in the United States 

and, in 1978, all heptachlor uses were canceled. In 

1986, chlordane uses, except termiticide uses, were 

canceled. Despite these cancellations and because 

they persist in the environment, residues of BHC, 

chlordane, HCB, dieldrin, endrin, and heptachlor 

epoxide were detected in some of the tested 

commodities. For example, dieldrin was detected in 

5.6 percent of cucumber samples, chlordane (cis) 

was detected in 3.8 percent of cilantro samples, 

and chlordane (trans) was detected in 1.2 percent 

of cucumber samples. All other detections of 

environmental contaminant residues were at a 

frequency below 5 percent. For all cases, the 

detected levels were much lower than the FDA 

action levels, where applicable. None of the drinking 

water samples (treated or untreated) had residues 

of aldrin, chlordane or its metabolite oxychlordane, 

dieldrin, endrin, or heptachlor epoxide. Details of 

residue results for environmental contaminants may 

be found in Appendices B, C, D, E, and G.

♦ Overview of Results

Table 3 gives an overview of the number of samples 

analyzed and a summary of results for fresh and 

processed fruit and vegetables, rice, and beef. The 

percent of total residue detections is obtained by 

comparing the total number of residues detected 

to the total number of analyses performed per 

commodity. The percentage of total residue 

detections for fresh fruit and vegetables ranged 

from 0 to 3.2 percent, with a mean of 1.5 percent. 

The percentage of total residue detections for all 

processed fruit and vegetables was approximately 

0.02 percent. The percentage of total residue 

detections for rice was 0.4 percent, beef adipose 

was 0.3 percent, and beef muscle 0.1 percent. Of the 

11,811 samples analyzed, the overall percentage of 

total residue detections was 1.3 percent. Excluded 

from Table 3 are catfish, groundwater, and treated 

and untreated drinking water, which are presented 

separately in Appendix E (catfish), Appendix F 

(groundwater), and Appendix G (drinking water). 

Catfish and water are not included in the statistics 

for overall sample results because residue levels, 

if found, are mainly the result of environmental 

contamination or transfer, rather than from 

registered agricultural uses on the commodity. 

Table 3 also shows the number of pesticides in 

PDP’s testing profile for a given commodity, 

the number of registered, or allowable, pesticide 

uses by commodity, and the number of pesticides 

actually found on the crop. It should be noted 

that many pesticides are available for use on the 

same crop; however, not all crops are sprayed 

and not all available pesticides are used at the 

same time or location. These differences are 

captured by PDP data which reflect actual residues 

present in food grown in various regions of the 

U.S. and overseas. Thus, in evaluating consumer 

exposure to pesticides through the diet, EPA uses 

all available information provided by registrants, 

PDP, and others to verify that tolerances meet the 

safety standards set by FQPA. The reporting of 

residues present at levels below the established 

tolerance serves to ensure and verify the safety of 

the Nation’s food supply.

Excluding groundwater and drinking water, 

pesticide/commodity pairs with detections in at 

least 10 percent of samples tested are shown in 

Appendix J. The data shown include the range 

and mean of values detected, range of LODs 

and U.S. EPA tolerance references for each pair. 

Because beef and catfish residues are expressed 

in parts per billion (ppb), EPA tolerances have 

been multiplied by a factor of 1,000 as a basis for 

comparison using a single scale. Results for beef 

and catfish are shown at the end of Appendix J.

By virtue of the MRMs employed, PDP provides 

novel data that can be used by EPA to evaluate 

exposure to multiple residues from the same 

commodity. The data are crucial for assessments 

that consider cumulative exposure to pesticides 

determined to have common mechanisms of 

toxicity. The distribution of multiple pesticides 

occurring in samples tested during 2009 is 

presented in Appendix K. 

These data indicate that approximately 43 

percent of all samples tested, excluding catfish, 

groundwater, and treated and untreated drinking 

water, contained no detectable pesticides, 17 

percent contained 1 pesticide, and 40 percent 

contained more than 1 pesticide. Parent compounds 

and their metabolites are combined to report the 

number of “pesticides,” rather than the number 

of “residues,” as was reported in summaries prior 

to 2003. For example, a sample with positive 

detections for endosulfan I, II, and sulfate would 

have been counted as three residues in the 2002 

Appendix L. That sample would be counted as 

just one pesticide detected in Appendix K of this 

Summary.

Thirteen pesticides were detected in two grape 

samples and one strawberry sample. Most multiple 

residue detections result from the application of 

more than one pesticide on a crop during a growing 

season; however, a number of other factors could 

contribute to multiple detections. Pesticide spray 

drift, residue transfer through crop rotation or at 

packing facilities, and/or presence of persistent 

environmental contaminants could all contribute 

to residue detections.

It should be noted that, in most cases, samples 

analyzed by PDP are composites of 3 to 5 pounds 

of commodity from the same lot. Therefore, the 
Pesticide Data Program—Annual Summary, Calendar Year 2009

26

estimated concentrations for multiple residue 

detections in these composite sample results 

may or may not reflect the number of pesticides 

per concentration in a single serving item of a 

commodity.

♦ Special Projects

Organic Lettuce: The Colorado laboratory 

conducted testing on 387 organic lettuce samples. 

Appendix B shows that of the 57 compounds 

tested, 6 different residues (including metabolites), 

representing 5 pesticides, were detected. The most 

frequently detected compounds were spinosad 

(18.3%) and azadirachtin A/B (1.8% and 0.3%, 

respectively), both of which are allowable for 

use in organic practices. The Organic Foods 

Production Act (OFPA) states that, “When residue 

testing detects prohibited substances at levels that 

are greater than 5 percent of the Environmental 

Protection Agency’s tolerance for the specific 

residue detected or unavoidable residual 

environmental contamination, the agricultural 

product must not be sold, labeled, or represented 

as organically produced.”2 Cypermethrin was 

found in one organic lettuce sample at 0.06 parts 

per million (ppm) where a tolerance of 10.00 ppm 

is established for conventionally-grown lettuce. 

DDE p,p’, an environmental contaminant, was 

detected in one sample of organic lettuce (0.5%). 

Three samples (0.8%) contained violative 

residues of phosmet oxygen analog; no tolerance 

is established for the parent compound, phosmet, 

in conventionally-grown lettuce.

Rice: The USDA GIPSA laboratory conducted 

testing on 435 rice samples. Appendix C shows 

that 15 different residues (including metabolites), 

representing 14 pesticides, were detected in the 

rice samples. The most frequently detected residue 

was piperonyl butoxide which was detected in 

73 samples (16.8%). MGK-264 was detected in 

38 samples (8.7%). Other compounds detected 

in one or more percent of the samples include: 

DDD p,p’ (1.1%), malathion (1.8%), permethrin 

(1.2%), and propiconazole (1.1%). Allethrin, 

carbaryl, carbendazim, endosulfan II, endosulfan 

sulfate, fludioxonil, imidacloprid, propanil, and 

resmethrin were detected in less than one percent 

of the rice samples.

Beef: The AMS NSL, conducted testing for pesticide 

residues on 292 beef adipose and 292 beef muscle tissue 

samples. Overall, 13 different residues (including 

metabolites), representing 9 pesticides, were detected 

in the beef samples. DDE p,p’ was the most frequently 

detected residue with 23.6 percent of the adipose 

tissue samples containing detectable levels of DDE 

p,p’ and 6.8 percent of the muscle tissues containing 

detectable levels. Cyhalothrin was detected in 11.6 

percent of adipose samples and 2.4 percent of muscle 

samples. Bifenthrin was detected in 5.1 percent of 

the adipose samples and 0.3 percent of the muscle 

samples. Endosulfan sulfate, hexachlorobenzene, 

and permethrin were each detected in 1.7 percent of 

the adipose samples and diphenylamine was detected 

in 1.7 percent of the muscle samples. Other residues 

were detected in less than one percent of the samples as 

follows: cyfluthrin in adipose and muscle; DDD p,p’, 

DDT p,p’, diphenylamine, endosulfan I, endosulfan 

II, and piperonyl butoxide in adipose; and endosulfan 

sulfate in muscle. All residue detections were lower 

than the established tolerances for those compounds 

with established tolerances.

Catfish: The AMS NSL conducted testing for pesticide 

residues on 543 catfish samples. Overall, 41 different 

residues (including metabolites), representing 30 

pesticides, were detected in the catfish samples. The 

DDT metabolites, DDE p,p’ (65.0%) and DDD p,p’ 

(29.8%) were the most frequently detected residues. 

Other residues detected in more than 5 percent of the 

samples include: bifenthrin (16.2%), DDD o,p’ (8.3%), 

diuron (7.0%), toxaphene (6.4%), endosulfan sulfate 

(5.9%), and chlorpyrifos (5.5%).

The majority of residues detected are not associated 

with pesticide applications, but rather are most likely 

attributable to environmental exposure and are covered 

by Action Levels (ALs) established by FDA or by 

food handling establishment tolerances. Pesticides for 

which no tolerance was established in fish or catfish are 

likely to be present in water; EPA is addressing these 

issues under environmental impact assessments. For 

these reasons, catfish residue results, along with results 

from groundwater and drinking water, are excluded 

when providing overall residue counts.

♦ Potable Groundwater from Domestic Wells

In 2009, a total of 278 groundwater samples were 

collected from agricultural/farm wells, school/childcare 
Pesticide Data Program—Annual Summary, Calendar Year 2009

27

facility wells, and private domestic wells. Overall, 

PDP detected 29 different residues (including 

metabolites), representing 19 pesticides, in the 

groundwater samples. Most of the detections were 

for herbicides or their metabolites. The samples 

with detectable residues came from 152 different 

sites. Residue profiles are shown in Appendix F.

♦ Municipal Drinking Water

PDP analyzed 612 water samples (306 untreated 

samples and 306 finished samples) from 

community water systems. Appendix G shows 

the concentration of detected residues in treated 

and untreated water. Fifty-three different residues 

(including metabolites), representing 42 pesticides, 

were detected in the finished drinking water and 

49 different residues (including metabolites), 

representing 38 pesticides, were detected in the 

untreated intake water. The majority of pesticides 

included in the PDP testing profiles were not 

detected; those compounds that were detected 

were primarily commonly used herbicides and 

their metabolites.

Water treatment technologies vary widely and may 

be based on the local water chemistry, targeted 

contaminants needing removal, and cost. In most 

cases, there were more detections in the untreated 

water than in the treated water. In a few cases, 

residues detected in the treated water were not 

found in the untreated water. The data acquired to 

date indicate the water treatment process removed 

matrix interferences, allowing for a more sensitive 

measurement in the treated water. Depending 

on the treatment process employed, individual 

pesticides are entirely, partially, or not removed 

during the treatment process.

Appendix G also lists the MCL and/or Health 

Advisory (HA) values. None of the detections 

in the finished water samples exceeded established 

EPA MCL or HA levels; however, many of the 

compounds in the PDP testing profiles do not 

have established regulatory standards. Therefore, 

for comparative purposes, EPA Fresh Aquatic 

Organism (FAO) criteria, which are much lower 

than human-based MCLs or HA levels, also are 

given. These criteria are lower than MCL or HA 

levels due primarily to higher exposure to these 

compounds because aquatic organisms live all 

or most of their lives in water. During 2009, no 

detections exceeded established FAO levels. 

Additional information regarding EPA drinking 

water standards is available at: http://www.epa.

gov/safewater/ standards/setting.html.

♦ Tolerance Violations

A tolerance is defined under Section 408 of the 

Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act as the 

maximum quantity of a pesticide residue allowable 

on a raw agricultural commodity. Tolerances are 

also applicable to processed foods. The FQPA 

of 1996 contains an amendment to the Federal 

Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act 

that requires the EPA to review each pesticide 

registration every 15 years. Timely pesticide 

data provided by PDP enables the EPA to refine 

risk estimates used in the pesticide reregistration 

process. 

A tolerance violation occurs when a residue is 

found that exceeds the tolerance level or when a 

residue is found for which there is no established 

tolerance. With the exception of meat, poultry, 

and egg products, for which USDA is responsible, 

FDA enforces tolerances for all imported and 

domestic foods that move through interstate 

commerce. Unlike enforcement programs, PDP 

emphasizes determination of residues at the lowest 

detectable levels rather than quick turn-around 

times. When PDP identifies samples with residues 

exceeding the tolerance or with residues for which 

there is no established tolerance, these detections 

are reported to FDA regional and headquarters 

offices. This notification is made in accordance 

with a Memorandum of Understanding between 

USDA and FDA for the purpose of pinpointing 

areas where closer surveillance may be needed. 

FDA enforcement action has not been a practical 

response to PDP analysis because of the time 

required between sample collection and data 

reporting.

Residues exceeding the established tolerance are 

noted with an “X” in Appendices B, C, D, and E. 

Similarly, residues for which a tolerance is not 

established are noted with a “V.” The “X” and “V” 

annotations are followed by a number indicating 
Pesticide Data Program—Annual Summary, Calendar Year 2009

28

the number of samples reported to FDA. The EPA 

tolerances cited in this summary and Appendices 

apply to 2009 and not to the current year. There 

may be instances where tolerances may have been 

recently set or revoked that would have an effect 

on whether a residue is violative.

An established tolerance may apply to more than 

one residue because pesticides may break down 

into more than one metabolite or contain more 

than one isomer. For example, the tolerance for 

endosulfan combines residues of endosulfan 

I, endosulfan II, and endosulfan sulfate; and 

organophosphate tolerances may combine the 

parent compound and the sulfone and sulfoxide 

metabolites. Therefore, where applicable, the 

violations in Appendix L are combined residues 

of parent and any isomers and/or metabolites to 

count the total number of samples with tolerance 

violations.

 A total of 397 samples with 635 residues were 

reported to the FDA as Presumptive Tolerance 

Violations. Residues exceeding the tolerance were 

detected in 46 (0.3%) of the samples tested. The 

samples containing residues that exceed established 

tolerances include: 2 apple samples, 6 asparagus 

samples, 1 cilantro sample, 3 cucumber samples, 

2 samples of grapes, 1 green onion sample, 1 pear 

sample, 16 potato samples, 6 spinach samples, 

4 samples of strawberries, and 4 sweet potato 

samples. Of those 46 samples, 14 were reported 

as imported produce.

Residues with no established tolerance were found 

in 357 (2.7%) of the samples, which included 

342 fruit and vegetable samples, 10 samples of 

rice, and 5 beef adipose samples. There were 241 

samples with 1 residue each, 67 samples with 2 

residues each, 14 samples with 3 residues each, 17 

samples with 4 residues each, 11 samples with 5 

residues each, 3 samples with 6 residues each, 2 

samples with 7 residues each, and 2 samples with 

8 residues each. Six samples with residues having 

no established tolerance also contained one residue 

that exceeded an established tolerance. In most 

cases, these residues were detected at very low 

levels and some residues may have resulted from 

spray drift or crop rotations. The residue levels 

and commodities are listed in Appendix L.

Appendix A. Page 7 of 7
Appendix B

Distribution of Residues by Pesticide

in Fruit and Vegetables

Appendix B shows residue detections for all fruit and vegetable pesticide/commodity

pairs tested, including range of values detected, range of Limits of Detection (LODs), and U.S.

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) tolerances for each pair. The EPA tolerances cited in

this summary and Appendices apply to 2009 and not to the current year. There may be

instances where tolerances may have been recently set or revoked that would have an effect on

whether a residue is violative or not.

In 2009, 10,792 fruit and vegetable samples were analyzed, of which 9,231 were fresh

product and 1,561 were processed product.

The Pesticide Data Program reports tolerance violations to the U.S. Food and Drug

Administration (FDA) as part of an interagency Memorandum of Understanding between the

U.S. Department of Agriculture and FDA. Residues reported to FDA are shown in the

“Pesticide/Commodity” column to the right of the commodity and are annotated as “X” (if the

residue exceeded the established tolerance) or “V” (if the residue did not have a tolerance listed

in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 40, Part 180). In both cases, these annotations are

followed by a number indicating the number of samples reported to FDA.

Action Levels (ALs) are shown in this appendix, where applicable, and denote Action

Level values established by FDA. Under the Food Quality protection Act, responsibility for

establishing tolerances in lieu of ALs has been transferred to EPA. In the interim, ALs are

used.

NOTES

^ Only one distinct detected concentration or LOD value was reported for the pair.

NT = No tolerance level was set for that pesticide/commodity pair.

AL = Numbers shown are Action Levels established by FDA for some pesticides. Under Food Quality Protection Act, responsibility for

establishing tolerances in lieu of action levels has been transferred to EPA. In the interim, action levels are used.

EX = Azadirachtin A, Azadirachtin B, Pyrethrum (natural pyrethrins), Rotenone, and Salannin are compounds which have been

approved for use in organic farming practices by the USDA National Organic Program. They are exempt from the

requirement of a tolerance on all raw agricultural commodites. Positive detects of these compounds on organic lettuce

are not considered to be tolerance violations.

(V) = Residue was found where no tolerance was established by EPA. Following "V" are the number of occurrences.

(X) = Residue was found which exceeds EPA tolerance or FDA action level. Following "X" are the number of occurrences.

Many of the listed tolerances are the sum of a parent compound and metabolite(s)/isomer(s). The reader is

advised to refer to EPA for the complete listing of compounds in tolerance expressions. The cited tolerances

apply to 2009 and not to the current year. There may be instances where a tolerance was recently set or

revoked that would have an effect on whether a residue is violative or not.

Appendix B. Page 74 of 74
Appendix C

Distribution of Residues by Pesticide

in Rice

Appendix C shows residue detections for all compounds tested in rice, including range of

values detected, range of Limits of Detection (LODs), and U.S. Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA) tolerance references for each pair. The EPA tolerances cited in this summary

and Appendices apply to 2009 and not to the current year. There may be instances where

tolerances may have been recently set or revoked that would have an effect on whether a

residue is violative or not.

In 2009, the Pesticide Data Program (PDP) analyzed 435 rice samples. PDP detected

15 different residues (including metabolites), representing 14 pesticides, in the rice samples.

PDP reports tolerance violations to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as part

of an interagency Memorandum of Understanding between the U.S. Department of Agriculture

and FDA. Residues reported to FDA are shown in the “Pesticide” column to the right of the

pesticide name and are annotated as “X” (if the residue exceeded the established tolerance) or

“V” (if the residue did not have a tolerance listed in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 40,

Part 180). In both cases, these annotations are followed by a number indicating the number of

samples reported to FDA.

Action Levels (ALs) are shown in this appendix, where applicable, and denote AL values

established by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Under the Food Quality Protection Act,

responsibility for establishing tolerances in lieu of ALs has been transferred to EPA. In the

interim, ALs are used.

Appendix D

Distribution of Residues by Pesticide

in Beef

Appendix D shows residue detections for all compounds tested in beef, including range

of values detected, range of Limits of Detection (LODs), and U.S. Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA) tolerance references for each pair. The EPA tolerances cited in this summary

and Appendices apply to 2009 and not to the current year. There may be instances where

tolerances may have been recently set or revoked that would have an effect on whether a

residue is violative or not.

In 2009, the Pesticide Data Program (PDP) analyzed 584 beef tissue samples,

consisting of 292 adipose samples and 292 muscle samples. PDP detected 13 different

residues (including metabolites), representing 9 pesticides, in the adipose and muscle samples.

All residue detections were lower than the established tolerances for those compounds with

established tolerances.

PDP reports tolerance violations to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as part

of an interagency Memorandum of Understanding between the U.S. Department of Agriculture

and FDA. Residues reported to FDA are shown in the “Pesticide” column to the right of the

pesticide name and are annotated as “X” (if the residue exceeded the established tolerance) or

“V” (if the residue did not have a tolerance listed in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 40,

Part 180). In both cases, these annotations are followed by a number indicating the number of

samples reported to FDA.

Action Levels (ALs) are shown in this appendix, where applicable, and denote AL values

established by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Under the Food Quality Protection Act,

responsibility for establishing tolerances in lieu of ALs has been transferred to EPA. In the

interim, ALs are used.

EPA tolerances as published in 40 CFR Part 180 are expressed in parts per million

(ppm). Because beef residues are expressed in parts per billion (ppb), EPA tolerances have

been multiplied by a factor of 1,000 as a basis for comparison using a single scale. There is no

intention to imply any more exactness in the value than that originally expressed by EPA.

NOTES

* = EPA Tolerances have been multiplied by a factor of 1,000 as a basis for comparison using a single scale.

There is no intention to imply any more exactness in the value than that originally expressed by EPA.

^ = Only one distinct detected concentration or LOD value was reported for the pair.

NT = No tolerance level was set for that pesticide/commodity pair.

AL = Numbers shown are Action Levels established by FDA for some pesticides. Under FQPA, responsibility for establishing

tolerances in lieu of action levels has been transferred to EPA. In the interim, action levels are used.

(V) = Residue was found where no tolerance was established by EPA. Following "V" are the number of occurrences.

Pesticide Types:

A = Acaricide

F = Fungicide, FM = Fungicide Metabolite

H = Herbicide

I = Insecticide, IM = Insecticide Metabolite

Many of the listed tolerances are the sum of a parent compound and metabolite(s)/isomer(s). The reader is

advised to refer to EPA for the complete listing of compounds in tolerance expressions. The cited tolerances

apply to 2009 and not to the current year. There may be instances where a tolerance was recently set or

revoked that would have an effect on whether a residue is violative or not.

Appendix D. Page 11 of 11
Appendix E

Distribution of Residues by Pesticide

in Catfish

Appendix E shows residue detections for all compounds tested in catfish, including

range of values detected, range of Limits of Detection (LODs), and U.S. Environmental

Protection Agency (EPA) tolerance references for each pair. The EPA tolerances cited in this

summary and Appendices apply to 2009 and not to the current year. There may be instances

where tolerances may have been recently set or revoked that would have an effect on whether

a residue is violative or not.

In 2009, the Pesticide Data Program (PDP) analyzed 543 catfish samples. PDP

detected 41 different residues (including metabolites), representing 30 pesticides, in the catfish

samples. The majority of these residue detections are not associated with pesticide

applications, but rather are most likely attributable to environmental exposure and are covered

by Action Levels (ALs) established by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or by food

handling establishment tolerances. Pesticides for which no tolerance was established in fish or

catfish are likely to be present in water; EPA is addressing these issues under environmental

impact assessments. For these reasons, catfish residue results, along with results from

groundwater and drinking water, are excluded when providing overall residue counts.

Action Levels (ALs) are shown in this appendix, where applicable, and denote ALs

established by FDA. Under the Food Quality Protection Act, responsibility for establishing

tolerances in lieu of ALs has been transferred to EPA. In the interim, ALs are used.

EPA tolerances as published in 40 CFR Part 180 are expressed in parts per million

(ppm). Because catfish residues are expressed in parts per billion (ppb), EPA tolerances have

been multiplied by a factor of 1,000 as a basis for comparison using a single scale. There is no

intention to imply any more exactness in the value than that originally expressed by EPA.

NOTES

* = EPA tolerances have been multiplied by a factor of 1,000 as a basis for comparison using a single scale.

There is no intention to imply any more exactness in the value than that originally expressed by EPA.

^ = Only one distinct detected concentration or LOD value was reported for the pair.

NA = Findings in catfish are covered by tolerances established for fish, by tolerances set for pesticide uses in food

handling establishments, and by action levels set for persistent chemicals commonly found in the enviroment.

In addition, there are other findings that may arise from a number of attributable sources including runoff from

agricultural uses to water sources or ponds. For the latter group, where no specific tolerance has been

established, “NA” has been entered as the tolerance value.

AL = Numbers shown are Action Levels established by FDA for some pesticides. Under FQPA, responsibility

for establishing tolerances in lieu of action levels has been transferred to EPA. In the interim, action levels

are used.

Pesticide Types:

A = Acaricide

F = Fungicide, FM = Fungicide Metabolite

H = Herbicide

I = Insecticide, IM = Insecticide Metabolite

P = Plant Growth Regulator

R = Insect Growth Regulator

Many of the listed tolerances are the sum of a parent compound and metabolite(s)/isomer(s). The reader is advised

to refer to EPA for the complete listing of compounds in tolerance expressions. The cited tolerances apply to 2009

and not to the current year. There may be instances where a tolerance was recently set or revoked that would have

an effect on whether a residue is violative or not.

Appendix F

Distribution of Residues by Pesticide

in Groundwater

Appendix F shows residue detections for all compounds tested in groundwater, including

range of values detected and range of Limits of Detection (LODs) for each pair in parts per

trillion (ppt).

In 2009, the Pesticide Data Program (PDP) analyzed 278 groundwater samples from

278 different collection sites, including 95 from agricultural wells, 113 from school/daycare wells,

and 70 from private residential wells. PDP detected 29 different residues (including

metabolites), representing 19 pesticides, in the groundwater samples. Most of the detections

were for herbicides. The samples with detectable residues came from 152 different sites.

Appendix G

Distribution of Residues by Pesticide

in Drinking Water

Appendix G shows residue detections for all compounds tested in drinking water,

including range of values detected and range of Limits of Detection (LODs). The U.S.

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) National Primary Drinking Water Regulation (NPDWR)

Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs) for drinking water, Health Advisory (HA) values for

drinking water, and Freshwater Aquatic Organism (FAOs) Criteria for ambient water are also

shown. Units for LODs, MCLs, HAs, and FAOs are shown in parts per trillion (ppt).

In 2009, the Pesticide Data Program (PDP) analyzed 612 drinking water samples,

including 306 finished drinking water samples and 306 untreated (raw intake) drinking water

samples. PDP detected 53 different residues (including metabolites), representing 42

pesticides, in finished drinking water and 49 different residues (including metabolites),

representing 38 pesticides, in the untreated intake water; most of the detections were

herbicides. None of the finished drinking water samples exceeded EPA MCLs or HAs for any

pesticide detected. In fact, the majority of pesticides included in the PDP screens were not

detected.

The MCLs are legally enforceable standards that apply to public water systems. EPA’s

regulations for MCLs can be referenced at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/mcl.html. The HAs are

an estimate of acceptable drinking water levels for a chemical substance based on health

effects information. The values published are for lifetime HA, which is the concentration of a

chemical in drinking water that is not expected to cause any adverse non-carcinogenic effects

for a lifetime of exposure. The HA values can be referenced at http://www.epa.gov/

waterscience/criteria/drinking. FAO criteria are set by EPA and are the concentration of a

chemical in water at or below which aquatic life are protected from acute and chronic adverse

effects of the chemical. The FAO values can be referenced at http://www.epa.gov/

waterscience/criteria/wqctable/index.html. Health Advisories and FAO criteria are not legally

enforceable Federal standards, but serve as technical guidance to assist Federal, State, and

local officials.

EPA MCL, HA, and FAO values are expressed in parts per million (ppm). Because

drinking water residues are expressed in parts per trillion (ppt), EPA MCL, HA, and FAO values

have been multiplied by a factor of 1,000,000 as a basis for comparison using a single scale.

There is no intention to imply any more exactness in the value than that originally expressed by

EPA.

Appendix H

Sample Origin by State or Country

(Determined by Grower, Packer, or Distributor)

Appendix H gives the number of fruit and vegetable, rice, beef, and catfish samples per

State or country of origin and the number of samples of unknown origin. Where available, the

origin of fresh commodities is taken from the grower or packer information. For processed

commodities, origin is determined primarily by packer or distributor.

As shown in Appendix H, fruit and vegetable, rice, beef, and catfish samples originated

from 45 States, 1 U.S. territory, and 22 foreign countries. There were 40 samples from mixed

national origins (multiple countries). There were 455 domestic and 2 imported samples from

unknown States and countries, respectively. There were an additional 113 samples from

unknown origins. Overall, for all samples except groundwater and drinking water, 78.7 percent

were from U.S. sources, 20.1 percent were imports, 0.3 percent were of mixed national origin,

and 0.9 percent were of unknown origin.

Appendix I

Import vs. Domestic Pesticide Residue Comparisons

PDP is designed to provide a comprehensive statistical picture of pesticide residues in

the U.S. food supply, representing all sources, including imports. Most commodities consumed

are generally produced in the United States with import components that vary by commodity.

However, several commodities tested over the past several years were cyclical; that is, part of

the year the commodity was produced domestically and part of the year it was imported.

Appendix I compares residue data reported for samples originating in the United States

with those of the same commodity from major exporting countries. Residue data for domestic

cucumbers are compared with data for samples originating in Mexico for 2009. Residue data

for grapes from the United States are compared with data for samples originating in Chile for

2009. Only residues detected in more than 10 percent of all samples are included in each

comparison. All pesticides detected were registered in the United States. However, the profiles

of residue findings were markedly different in the United States samples versus samples from

these exporting countries. The differences in residue detections between countries were likely

due to the pesticides used in response to pest pressures based on differing environmental,

climatic, and growing conditions.

Appendix J

Pesticide Residues by Commodity

(Pairs with Residue Detections in at Least 10 Percent of Samples)

Appendix J shows 104 commodity/pesticide pairs (including metabolites, isomers, and

degradates) with detections in at least 10 percent of the samples tested. The data shown

include the range and mean of values detected, range of Limits of Detection (LODs), and U.S.

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) tolerance references for each pair. The EPA

tolerances cited in this summary and Appendices apply to 2009 and not to the current year.

There may be instances where tolerances may have been recently set or revoked that would

have an effect on whether a residue is violative or not.

EPA tolerances as published in 40 CFR Part 180 are expressed in parts per million

(ppm). Because beef and catfish residues are expressed in parts per billion (ppb), EPA

tolerances have been multiplied by a factor of 1,000 as a basis for comparison using a single

scale. There is no intention to imply any more exactness in the value than that originally

expressed by EPA.

Appendix J. Page 3 of 3
Appendix K

Number of Pesticides Detected per Sample

Appendix K shows the percentage of samples versus the number of pesticides detected

per sample, excluding catfish, groundwater, and drinking water samples. The graph and data

on page 1 show the overall number of samples and percentages (of total number of samples

analyzed) for each detection group across all commodities. The table on page 2 shows the

number of pesticides detected by individual commodity. For the 11,811 samples analyzed,

42.6 percent of the samples had no detectable pesticides, 17.2 percent had 1 pesticide, and

40.2 percent of the samples had more than 1 pesticide.

This appendix reports the number of distinct pesticides rather than residues, as was

reported in summaries prior to 2003. A parent compound and its metabolites are reported as a

single pesticide. For example, a single application of the pesticide endosulfan may result in

residues of the parent compound endosulfan I, its endosulfan II isomer, and its endosulfan

sulfate metabolite. Thus, three residue detections could result from the use of a single

pesticide. In the 2002 and previous summaries, the corresponding appendix would have

counted these results as three distinct residues, while this appendix counts the findings as just

one distinct pesticide.

Parent compounds and their metabolites are combined to report the number of "pesticides" rather than the number of "residues,"

as was reported in summaries prior to 2003. For example, a sample with positive detections for Endosulfan I, II, and sulfate

would have been counted as three residues detected in the 2002 Appendix L. That same sample would be counted as just

one pesticide detected in this appendix.

Appendix L

Fruit and Vegetable Samples Reported to the

U.S. Food and Drug Administration as

Exceeding the Tolerance

or Without Established Tolerance

(per Code of Federal Regulations, Title 40, Part 180)

Appendix L shows residues reported to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as exceeding

the tolerance or residues for which no established tolerance was listed under the Code of Federal

Regulations, Title 40, Part 180. In 2009, a total of 397 samples with 635 residues were reported to

the FDA as Presumptive Tolerance Violations.

Catfish and water are not included in this appendix because residue levels, if found, are mainly the

result of environmental contamination or transfer, rather than from registered agricultural uses on the

commodity. Residues exceeding the tolerance were detected in 46 samples including 2 apple

samples, 6 asparagus samples, 1 cilantro sample, 3 cucumber samples, 2 grape samples, 1 green

onion sample, 1 pear sample, 16 potato samples, 6 spinach samples, 4 samples of strawberries, and

4 sweet potato samples. Of those 46 samples, 14 were reported as imported produce.

In addition, 357 samples were found to have residues for which no tolerance was established,

including 341 fresh fruit and vegetable samples, 1 processed fruit/vegetable sample, 10 samples of

rice, and 5 beef adipose samples.

241 samples contained 1 residue for which no tolerance was established.

67 samples contained 2 residues for which no tolerance was established.

14 samples contained 3 residues for which no tolerance was established.

17 samples contained 4 residues for which no tolerance was established.

11 samples contained 5 residues for which no tolerance was established.

3 samples contained 6 residues for which no tolerance was established.

2 samples contained 7 residues for which no tolerance was established.

2 samples contained 8 residues for which no tolerance was established.

Six of the 357 samples also contained 1 residue each that exceeded an established tolerance.

The columns under the Sample Origin heading provide the number of samples that were of domestic,

imported, or unknown origin for each pesticide/commodity pair listed.

Appendix L also notes if metabolites (or isomers) were detected as part of the same sample. In

instances where both parent and metabolite (or isomer) were detected, the Pesticide Data Program

accounted for both as part of the same tolerance expression.

NOTES

1 Captan’s tetrahydrophthalimide (THPI) metabolite was detected and quantitated. The result for THPI was stoichiometrically

converted and is expressed as the parent, captan.

2 Permethrin cis and trans isomers were detected within the same samples.

3 Omethoate metabolite was detected within the same samples as Dimethoate.

4

3-Hydroxycarbofuran metabolite was detected within the same samples as Carbofuran.

5 Chlordane cis and trans isomers were detected within the same samples.

6 DDT metabolites were detected within the same samples.

7 Diazinon oxygen analog metabolite was detected within the same sample as Diazinon.

8 Pentachloroaniline (PCA) metabolite was detected within the same three samples as Quintozene (PCNB).

9 Pentachlorobenzene (PCB) metabolite was detected within the same two samples as PCA metabolite and Quintozene (PCNB).

10 Omethoate metabolite was detected within one same sample as Dimethoate.

Note:

For those pesticide/commodity pairs where the minimum detected value is less than the limit of quantitation (three times

the limit of detection), the reported values are estimates. In a few cases, this may apply to the maximum detected value.
