Some scientific explanations have asserted that man evolved from primate beings and became a superior being overtime.

JUNIPER PUBLISHERS-OPEN ACCESS JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES & NATURAL RESOURCES Pesticide Residues in Fruits and Vegetables from Farmers’ Markets Authored by Beatrice N Dingha Abstract Pesticides are important in crop production worldwide. Many commonly grown fruits and vegetables require pesticide protection. The consequences of using pesticides for food production can be far-reaching, and farm produce may contain pesticide residues that pose serious health and environmental risks. In this paper, we review the Electrical Penetration Graph (EPG) and explore the potential for its use in food safety. Several pesticide residues were found on produce obtained from farmers’ markets. The results indicate that the EPG could be a useful tool for detecting pesticide residues. In conclusion, we emphasize the need for case-driven Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approaches that produce safe food and high yield. Introduction Food safety concerns continue...
