href=\"https:\/\/www.ewg.org\/\">they write<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>While chemical pest killers are used widely throughout conventional farming, many researchers fear that potentially hazardous compounds are being synthesized and implemented without sufficient evidence to guarantee safety. <\/p>\n<p>Pretty much any unpeeled fruit or vegetable carries the risk of pesticide exposure as its skin gets regularly doused with chemicals. <\/p>\n<p>The EWG found that 90% of samples taken from most fruits on the list tested positive for at least two kinds of pesticides. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cA single sample of kale, collard and mustard greens had up to 21 different pesticides,\u201d EWG also said. \u201cOn average, spinach samples had 1.8 times as much pesticide residue by weight as any other crop tested.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_%E2%80%98Dirty_Dozen_2022_list\"><\/span>The \u2018Dirty Dozen\u2019 2022 list<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure

There remain dozens of pesticides currently in use that have been linked with harm to the nervous, endocrine and reproductive systems in animals or humans, and may also cause cancer. <\/p>\n<p>Predictably, the Clean 15 consisted of produce with a peel, skin or husk that is normally removed before consumption: avocados, sweet corn, papaya, onions, kiwi, cabbage, mangoes and others.
