Abstract
A new sensitive and selective methods was developed to quantify different types of pesticides and their degradation products in sediment. The method developed was optimized and modified based on the accelerated solvent extraction, followed by the solid-phase extraction clean-up technique. High-performance liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry was used for analysis. The influence of various parameters on the extraction process was investigated, including the extraction temperature, extraction solvent, purification column and purification solvent, etc. Under the optimal conditions, the relative recoveries of the pesticides and their degradation products ranged from 80 to 106% for spiked blank sediment and environmental sediment samples with relative standard deviations of 1–9%. The method displayed low method detection limits for both sediment matrices and achieved good linearity over the tested range of concentrations. The physical and chemical properties of sediment showed that high content of sediment water content and humic acid would affect the extraction efficiency of sample pretreatment. The method was applied to environmental sediment to quantify pesticide residues in the samples. Based on the instrument and method performance validation results, the developed methods can be applied in environmental pesticide residue analysis, thus providing a scientific method for the detection of sediment samples.
