title: Determination of 23 organophosphorous pesticides in surface water using SPME followed by GC-MS.
abstract: Determination of 23 organophosphorous pesticides (sulfotep, phorate, demeton, diazinon, disulfoton, kitazzin.P, chlorpyrifos-methyl, methyl-parathion, ronnel, fenitrothion, malathion, chlorpyrifos, fenthion, parathion, bromophos, isofenphos-methyl, phenthoate, quinalphos, ethion, triazophos, carbophenothion, pirimiphos-methyl, and pirimiphos-ethyl) in water using solid-phase microextraction (SPME) with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry detection (GC-MS) was investigated. The influence of various parameters on pesticides extraction efficiency by SPME was thoroughly studied. For quantitation in the selective ion monitoring (SIM) mode, the linear range of most compounds was found to be between 0.05-10 microg/L, and the detection limits were between 0.7-50 ng/L. To validate matrix effects for surface water, the recoveries were calculated between 71-104%. SPME in combination with GC-MS is a sensitive and effective method for the determination of organophosphorous pesticides (OPPs) in water samples.
