Quick determination of Glyphosate and AMPA at sub µg/L in drinking water by direct injection into LC-MS/MS
2021
Abstract A sensitive, simple and quick method for the determination of glyphosate (Gly) and its degradation product, Aminomethyl phosphonic acid (AMPA), in water through ion chromatography coupled to quadrupole-linear ion trap mass spectrometry has been developed. Sample treatment was based on direct injection and acquisition was implemented in both MS2 and MS3 modes. The LoQs of the method were 0.03 µ/L for both Gly-and AMPA. The recoveries were between 91 and 118% and RSD was lower than 15%. The developed methodology was applied on 436 water samples.
Biomonitoring of glyphosate and AMPA in the urine of Spanish lactating mothers
2021
The objectives of this study were to evaluate the urinary levels of Glyphosate (Gly) and its metabolite aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA) in Spanish breastfeeding mothers (n = 97), to identify the main predictors of exposure and to perform a risk assessment. Urine samples were analyzed using a method based on solid phase extraction and liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) determination. The developed method showed limits of quantification of 0.1 μg/L for both analytes. The detection frequencies (DFs) were 54% for Gly and 60% for AMPA, with geometric means (GMs) of 0.12 μg/L and 0.14 μg/L, respectively. In the statistical analysis, no relationship was found between the u…
