Multiresidue determination of organophosphorus and organochlorine pesticides in human biological fluids by capillary gas chromatography.
Two multiresidue analytical methods for the simultaneous determination of organophosphorus and organochlorine pesticides in human urine and serum samples are described. The first approach is based on liquid-liquid microextraction with dichloromethane, and the second uses solid-phase extraction with C18. In both methods, the extracts are analyzed by capillary gas chromatography using nitrogen-phosphorus detection (NPD) and electron-capture detection (ECD). Limits of detection of the overall procedure of analysis are at the low ng mL(-1) level. Stability experiments have been performed with spiked urine and serum samples stored at 4 degrees C for 1 month. Finally, the solid-phase extraction procedure was applied to real-world samples. Quantification was performed by NPD or ECD, and peak identity was confirmed by use of mass-selective detection (MSD).
