The aim of this paper was to present occurrence of pesticides residues in peppermint Mentha Piperita in 2003-2005 and to estimate of their intakes by consumer. Gas chromatographic and spectroscopy methods were used. The most frequently found were chlorpyrifos residues (16% analysed samples) followed by terbacil (11%), dithiocarbamates (10%) and diazinon (5%). Residues in 14% analysed samples exceeded the European Union Maximum Residue Levels established for tea. Assuming consumption of peppermint on the level of 4.5 g (three bags) per day, short-term intake by adult and child consumer was a few times lower then Acceptable Daily Intake.
