ABSTRACT
We examined samples of irrigation water and vegetables from kitchen gardens in Campinas, Brazil. The bacterial analysis condemned 22.3 per cente of the vegetable samples, and the parasitological examination condemned 14.5 per cente. The criteria established by the Brazilian legislation condemned 11.8 per cente of the irrigation water samples. Parasites were significantly more frequent in vegetables in the rainy season, while excessive fecal coliforms were more frequent in the dry season. A proper monitoring of the irrigation water supply is important to avoid the contamination of vegetables.
