Application of solid-phase microextraction for the determination of organophosphorous pesticides in aqueous samples by gas chromatography with flame photometric detector.
A method based on solid-phase microextraction and gas chromatography flame photometric detector for the determination of organophosphorous pesticides (OPPs) in aqueous samples was described. Five kinds of commercially available fibers-7, 30 and 100 mum PDMS, 85 mum PA and 65 mum PDMS-DVB-were compared and 100 mum PDMS and 85 mum PA were the most sensitive fiber coatings for the analytes. The extraction time, extraction temperature, pH and content of NaCl were found to have significant influence on extraction efficiency. The optimized conditions were 100 mum PDMS fiber, 30 min extraction time at 40 degrees C, with 3% NaCl content and no pH adjustment. The linear range was 0.5-100 mug l(-1) for most of the analytes. The limits of detection (LODs) ranged from 0.049 mug l(-1) (for parathion) to 0.301 mug l(-1) (for carbophenothion) and RSD% of repeatability at the 10 mug l(-1) level were all below 8%. Environmental water samples were analyzed, but none of the analytes was detected. The recovery of spiked water samples was from 75.3 to 102.6%.
