      abstract = {In many parts of Nigeria, cereal grains like rice and beans, among others, are the staple foods that provide the majority of the energy and bulk in diets. Organophosphates, including dichlorvos, ethion, dizinon, chlorthiophos, and phosphate sulfoxide, were determined and identified by pesticide residue analysis in cereals from the study's numerous sampling locations in Kaduna state. The rice samples from Zaria local government had the highest mean concentration of phorate sulfoxide (8.00E-02 mg/kg) above the maximum residue level (MRL) set by WHO, while the beans from Kaduna South and Zangon Kataf local government areas had the highest levels of dichlorvos and dizinon (1.00E-01 and 8.00E-01 mg/kg). Children in Kaduna south, Kaduna north, Zaria, and Zango Kataf showed values greater than 1 for both EDI and HRI due to their consumption of rice and beans.},
