The state of Sinaloa is one of the largest agricultural producers in Mexico, highlighting the cultivation of pepper for its production volumes and yields. Due to intensive production, significant amounts of biomass (stems and leaves) are released, which are commonly discarded without generating added value, that is why, in recent years, recovery strategies suggest its use as a source of nutraceuticals and phytochemicals. However, if biomasses are contaminated with pesticide residues, they can represent a health risk. The present study aimed to determine the hazard quotient (HQ) and the risk index (HI) of the pesticides identified in poblano, jalapeño, and bell pepper biomasses. For this, the admitted daily intake (ADI), estimated daily intake (EDI), LD50, and the acute reference dose of the identified analytes (ARfD) were used. None of the pesticides in the quantified concentrations represents a risk to human health in their consumption of 0.001 kg per day, this in adults weighing 70 kg, so they could be used for the processing of food supplements and/or extraction of molecules with added value.
