The use of agrochemicals to boost food production in other to meet ever increasing population leaves the environment contaminated with disease consequences associated with the residues. Therefore, the need to ascertain the chemical levels in humans becomes imperative. Some pesticide residues were analysed in the blood samples of cancer patients in the Jos University Teaching Hospital using modified version of the QuEChERS technique. The order of results showed the mean concentration (μg/L) of Mirex>Dimethoate> DDT > Chlordane > Dieldrin > Chlorpyrifos. Statistical analysis shows that there was significant correlation between DDT and Chlordane at 0.05; between Mirex and Chlordane at 0.01 levels and between Dimethoate and Dieldrin at 0.01 levels. Generally, most of the pesticide residues detected in cancer patients were higher compared to those in the control, highlighting a possible link between human exposure to pesticides and the development of cancer.
