Pesticide Residues in Foods in Ghana: A Systematic Review
Health Science Reports, Volume 8, Issue 12, December 2025.ABSTRACT Background and Aim Pesticide use has surged globally to enhance agricultural productivity. However, this reliance, particularly in developing countries like Ghana, has raised concerns about pesticide residues in foods and their potential health impacts on the population. Exposure to pesticide residueshas been linked to acute poisoning, cancers,
