Honey is a natural substance produced by honeybees and flower nectar. It has complex compounds such as carbohydrates (fructose and glucose), phenols, organic acids, amino acids, proteins, minerals, vitamins and lipids. Organophosphorus pesticides, as diazinon, are used more than other pesticides due to their effect on a wide range of pests and also cheap price. It is noteworthy that diazinon is in category 2 in the classification of the World Health Organization and is considered as a relatively hazardous pesticide. In this regard, in the present study, the amount of residue of diazinon in honey produced in Damavand region was measured with the aim of providing the health of consumers and preparing the ground for qualitative control of this product. The honey samples used in this study were prepared from six areas of Ayeneh Varzan, Aro, Havir, Mosha, Tar Lake and Damavand in June and September. Then, the separation and detection of toxin were done by HPLC. According to the results, the residue of toxin was observed in all sampling areas so that in some areas the amount of residual was higher than the maximum residue level (MRL). Also, the residue in June in all samples was more than the samples harvested in September. In this regard, the highest amount of residue was measured in June in Ayeneh Varzan (0.03919 ppm) and its lowest amount was measured in September in Havir region with the amount of 0.1714 ppm.
