Development and Validation of a Method for the Simultaneous Determination of 20 Organophosphorus Pesticide Residues in Corn by Accelerated Solvent Extraction and Gas Chromatography with Nitrogen Phosphorus Detection. American Journal of Applied Chemistry. Vol. 2, No. 4, 2014, pp. 46-54. doi: 10.11648/j.ajac.20140204.11 Abstract: The method for simultaneous determination of 20 organophosphorus pesticide residues in corn samples has been developed and validated. For the extraction of organophosporus pesticide residues from the samples, the accelerated solvent technique with the mixture of dichloromethane: acetone (1:1, V/V ) was used. Clean up was done using liquid – liquid extraction with n – hexane, followed by solid phase extraction on primary secondary amine adsorbent, and elution with the mixture of acetone: toluene (65:35). The determination of the pesticides was carried out by gas chromatography with nitrogen phosphorus detection. Separation and quantitative determination of the analytes were performed on a fused silica capillary ZB-35 column (30 m x 0.25 mm i.d. x 0.25 µm, Phenomenex). The recovery was investigated in blank corn samples fortified with mevinphos, diazinon, dimethoate, bromofos-methyl, chlorfenvinphos, fenamiphos, ethion and phosalone at 5 ng/g, 10 ng/g, 15 ng/g , 20 ng/g and 25 ng/g, respectively and with methacrifos, phorate, etrimfos, parathion-methyl, pirimiphos - methyl, fenitrothion, chlorpyrifos, malathion, parathion, bromofos-ethyl, phosmet and azinphos-methyl at 10 ng/g, 20 ng/g, 30 ng/g, 40 ng/g and 50 ng/g, respectively. The recovery ranged from 76.0% to 112.0%. Repeatability expressed as relative standard deviation (RSD) was less than 8.2%. Linearity expressed as correlation coefficient (R 2) ranged from 0.9935 to 0.9996. Measurement uncertainty (Ux) was lower than 14.2% for all tested pesticides. The limits of quantification (LOQ) were bellow 5 ng/g for all tested pesticides. The satisfactory Z-score results of international proficiency tests confirm good analytical performances of the developed method.

  • The Effect of Processing on 14 C-Chlofenvinphos Residues In
    EG0800342 The Effect of Processing on 14C- Chlorfenvinphos Residues in Maize Oil and Bioavailability of its Cake Residues on Rats F. Mahdy, S. El-Maghraby National Research Centre, Dokki, Giza, Egypt ABSTRACT Maize seed obtained from 14C-chlorfenvinphos treated plants contained 0.12 % of the applied dose. The insecticide residues in crude oil, methanol and coke amounted to 10 %, 6 % and 69 %, respectively of original residues inside the seeds.The 14C-activity in the crude oil could be a gradual reduced by the refining processes. The alkali treatment and bleaching steps are more effective steps in the refining processes remove about (63 %). The refined oil contained only about 17 % of the 14C-residues originally present. The major residues in processed oil contain parent compound, in addition to five metabolites of the insecticide. When rats fed the extracted seeds (cake), the bound residues were found to be considerably bioavailable. After feeding rats for 5 days with the cake, a substantial amount of 14C-residues was eliminated in the urine (59.5 %), while about 20 % was excreted in the feces. About 15 % of the radioactivity was distribution among various organs. Keywords: 14C-chlorfenvinphos, maize oil, refining processes, residues, bioavailability. INTRODUCTION Pesticides are of interest as residues because of their widespread use in a variety of crops for field and post-harvest protection and because with their degradation products, they could be a potential health hazard. Past investigations suggest that most organochlorine and organophosphorus pesticide in edible oils can be reduced considerably by a chemical refining process, but pyrethroid pesticides remain to a certain extent (1-6).

  • Analysis of Organophosphorus Pesticides in Drinking Water Using
    Prepared by: T. Dobbs, J. Netzer, J. Salmons and J. Wiseman J2 Scientific, 1901 Pennsylvania Drive, Suite C, Columbia, MO 65202 Contact Information: [email protected]; 573-214-0472 Why Should We Measure? Organophosphorus compounds are a very major class of pesticides and are exported to almost every country in the world, well over 77 million pounds/year in US alone. Most intended uses are for row crops, but are also used for mosquito control as well as household and garden pests thereby increasing exposure risks. Contamination from these compounds in water must be monitored due to their acetylcholinesterase deactivation potential. Monitoring data exists for most pesticides including OP’s in drinking water sources. Very little monitoring data until recently of OP pestidices under drinking water conditions Some OP’s are partially removed by DW treatment proceses, but others may be transformed into contaminants which are equally or more toxic than the parent compound. Method Considerations Large numbers of samples require a method which can be run unattended.

  • SECRETARY HICKEL BANS USE of 16 PESTICIDES on ANY INTERIOR LANDS OR PROGRAMS -- June 18, 1970
    i DEPARTMENT of the INTERIOR news release OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY For Release Thursday, June 18, 1970 SECRETARYHICKEL BANS USE OF 16 PESTICIDES ON ANY INTERIOR LANDS OR PROGRAMS Secretary of the Interior Walter J. Hickel today announced a new policy flatly banning the use of 16 types of pesticides on any lands managed by the Department's bureaus and agencies, or in any program run by them. The Department administers approximately 70 percent of all federally owned lands. Included in this list of prohibited pesticides are such widely-known substances as DDT, Aldrin, 2, 4, 5,-T, Dieldrin, Endrin, Heptachlor, Lindane and Toxaphene. Also on the list of unconditionally banned items are Amitrol, arsenical compounds (inorganic), Azodrin, Bidrin, DDD (TDE), mercurial compounds, Strobane, and Thallium Sulfate. The Secretary pointed out that nearly all use of these pesticides has been banned on Interior Lands during recent years. The purpose of the new statement, he said, is to establish a policy for guidance of all Interior personnel. Another group of chemical pesticides, titled the Restricted List, are to be used only when non-chemical techniques have been considered and found inadequate, and when use can be limited to small-scale applications. Secretary Hickel emphasized that the use of any chemical pesticide by his agencies must be aimed at a specific pest problem, and involve minimum strength and minimum frequency of application. "We in the Interior Department-- the Nation's chief conservation agency have a special obligation to protect the environment for all the people,“’ Secretary Hickel said. "We are charged by law with responsibility for protecting interstate and coastal water quality, our fish and wildlife resources, the integrity of our national parks, public lands, and recreation areas," the Secretary continued.
