Abstract A joint U.S. Environmental Protection Agency/AOAC interlaboratory method validation study was conducted on EPA Method 507, Determination of Nitrogen- and Phosphorus- Containing Pesticides In Finished Drinking Water by Gas Chromatography with a Nitrogen-Phosphorus Detector, to determine the mean recovery and precision for analyses of 45 nitrogen- or phosphorus-containing pesticides in reagent water and finished drinking waters. The study design was based on Youden's nonreplicate plan for collaborative tests of analytical methods. The waters were spiked with 45 nitrogen- or phosphorus-containing pesticides at 6 concentration levels, prepared as 3 Youden pairs. Ten volunteer laboratories extracted the spiked test waters with methylene chloride, performed a solvent exchange with methyl ferf-butyl ether, and analyzed an aliquot of each extract by gas chromatography using a nitrogen-phosphorus detector. Results were analyzed using an EPA computer program, which measured recovery and precision for each of the 45 pesticides and compared the performance of the method between water types. Method 507 was judged acceptable for all analytes tested except merphos, which thermally decomposed in the Injection port of the gas chromatograph. Five compounds (carboxin, disulfoton, metolachlor, pronamlde, and slmazlne) exhibited statistically significant matrix effects for the finished drinking water. The method has been adopted official first action by AOAC.

Abstract A method for the isolation and gas chromatographic determination of chlorsulfuron in milk is presented. Blank or chlorsulfuron-spiked milk samples were blended into C-18 (octadecylsilyl derivatized silica, ODS) packing material. A column made from the C-18/milk matrix was washed with hexane after which chlorsulfuron was eluted with dichloromethane (DCM). The DCM eluate contained chlorsulfuron which was free from interfering co-extractants when analyzed by gas chromatography utilizing a nitrogen/phosphorus detector. Chlorsulfuron was found to undergo a thermally induced decomposition to give 2-amino-4-methoxy-6-methyl-l,3,5-triazine, which was detected and quantitated by this method. Standard curves for these analyses were linear (r = 0.992 ± 0.004, n = 5), with an average percentage recovery of 91.6 ± 10.8%, over the concentration range examined (62.5-2000 ng/mL). The inter- and intra-assay variabilities were 11.6 ± 7.5% and 6.2%, respectively.

Abstract A joint U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA)-AOAC interlaboratory method validation study was conducted on USEPA National Pesticide Survey (NPS) Method 6, "Determination of Ethylene Thiourea (ETU) in Finished Drinking Water by Gas Chromatography with a Nitrogen-Phosphorus Detector." The purpose of the study was to determine and compare the mean recoveries and precision for determination of ETU in reagent water and finished drinking waters. The study design was based on Youden's nonreplicate plan for collaborative tests of analytical methods. The waters were spiked with ETU at 6 concentrations levels, prepared as 3 Youden pairs. In the method, the test water is extracted by passing the sample through an absorbent matrix type tube. ETU is recovered from the tube with methylene chloride, the extract is solvent-exchanged to ethyl acetate, and an aliquot of each extract is analyzed by gas chromatography using a nitrogen-phosphorus detector. Twelve laboratories participated in the study. Data were analyzed using a USEPA computer program, which measured recovery and precision for ETU and compared the performance of the method between the 2 water types. Over the concentration range tested, the mean percent recoveries of ETU were 82-92% in reagent water and 85-98% in finished drinking water. The range of the betweenlaboratory relative standard deviations (RSDR) for the 6 concentrations was 5-24% in reagent water, but was only 4-9% in finished drinking water. The range of the within-laboratory relative standard deviations (RSDr) was 6-14% for reagent water and 6- 10% for finished drinking water. Results for the 2 water matrixes showed no statistically significant differences. The method has been adopted first action by AOAC International for determination of ETU in finished drinking waters.
