I only buy organic citrus fruit. I can't always afford to buy all organic veg and fruit but as I use the peel from citrus I'm more careful.
And:
"If you would rather take the risk of pesticide exposure – most of us, of course, aren’t eating a huge amount of citrus zest – consider the farmers growing the fruit, who often don’t have the luxury of choice. A report last month found that 46% of farmers worldwide are being poisoned by pesticides every year."
