Trace analysis of triazines and organophosphorus pesticides in water.
A method for the determination of trace levels of triazines and organophosphorus pesticides in water is presented. The extraction method is based on a solid-phase extraction on C-18 bound silica SPE cartridges. A precolumn filled with Merck C-18 bound silica and home-made C-18 bound silica have been tested at a flow-rate of 3 ml/min with comparable preconcentration yields. A SIM-MS method using a (15)N labelled internal standard has been developed for the organophosphorus pesticides. Detection limits lower than 1 microg/L have been obtained. Separations have been carried out on a conventional GC column OV 17 (1 m) and a capillary column OV 17 (25 m) with a temperature program from 150 degrees C (2 min) to 300 degrees C (rate of 6 degrees C/min).
