Matrix effects on solid-phase microextraction of organophosphorus pesticides from water
Abstract This study develops a method for solid-phase microextraction (SPME) of eight organophosphorus pesticides, diazinon, fenthion, fenitrothion (sumithion), methyl-parathion, parathion, methyl-trithion, ethion and triazophos, from water. Determination is carried out by gas chromatography with nitrogen-phosphorus detection. To perform the SPME, poly(dimethylsiloxane) and polyacrylate fibers were initially compared on the basis of their absorption capacities for the selected pesticides, and polyacrylate was selected to accomplish the rest of assays. The main factors affecting the SPME process such as memory effect, stirring rate, extraction temperature and absorption-time profile were stu…
SPME of 52 pesticides and polychlorinated biphenyls: Extraction efficiencies of the SPME coatings poly(dimethylsiloxane), polyacrylate, poly(dimethylsiloxane)-divinylbenzene, Carboxen-poly(dimethylsiloxane), and Carbowax-divinylbenzene
Fiber/water partition coefficients (Kfw) of 52 pesticides, including triazines, organophosphorus pesticides, organochlorine pesticides, and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were experimentally calculated for the five polymeric coatings poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS), polyacrylate (PA), poly(dimethylsiloxane)-Divinylbenzene (PDMS-DVB), Carboxen-poly(dimethylsiloxane) (CAR-PDMS), and Carbowax-divinylbenzene (CW-DVB) commercially available for solid-phase microextraction coupled to gas chromatography. The equilibrium-time profiles for the five coatings were previously studied in order to establish the time needed for equilibrium. To calculate Kfw the amount of analyte extracted at equilibrium w…
