Neste artigo de revis?o foram reunidos os resultadosde trabalhos de monitoramento de resíduos depesticidas em leite, realizados no Brasil e no exteriorentre 1970 e 2002. O aparecimento de resíduos depesticidas no leite bovino pode ocorrer mediantera??es e pastagens contaminadas, ou tratamentode ectoparasitas com pesticidas aplicados emdesacordo com as boas práticas agropecuárias. Acontamina??o do leite materno ocorre,principalmente, pela ingest?o de alimentos comresíduos de pesticidas pelas mulheres em diversasfases da vida. Conclui-se que os inseticidasorganoclorados, apesar do uso proibido ou restritona maioria dos países, continuam sendo detectadosno leite, embora em níveis cada vez menores. PESTICIDES RESIDUES IN BOVINE AND HUMAN MILK Abstract In this review, research results of pesticides residues in milk monitored in Brazil and foreign countrie between 1970 and2002 were assembled. Pesticides residues detection in bovine milk may occur by means of contamined feed or pasture,or by ectoparasited treatment with pesticides applied in disarccordance with good agricultural practices. The human milkcontamination occurs mainly by food ingestion with pesticide residues during several life stages. It is concluded thatorganochlorine insecticides, even being its use prohibited or restricted in the majority of countries, continues to bedetected in milk although in lower levels each time.
