Abstract :
Organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) have been extensively used in agriculture due to their biocide activity. Though their use has been banned since many years before, because of their persistence and tendency for bioaccumulation, they often are detected and show presence in plant, animal and environment samples. A lot of studies, research and monitoring have been carried out from the respective scientific institutions and government in Albania, and the data obtained have confirmed the continuous presence of OCP and what is more they show the potential risk that our consumers run by consuming plant or/and animal origin food products. This continuous monitoring process requires not only hard work, efforts and time but reliable and consistent results as well, considering the fact of the low concentration level and difficult matrixes where these compounds are often encountered. In this paper we have presented the validation process and the respective results obtained using a GC MS/MS method for OCP determination in fish samples. The method is already in use in the Laboratory of Residues in Animal Origin Products in Food Safety and Veterinary Institute in Albania which is the only responsible body for National Residues Monitoring Plan in our country. The results of the validation process show that this method complies with the requirements of SANTE/11813/2017 guide.
