Abstract An interlaboratory study of the determination of captan, folpet, and captafol in tomatoes, cucumbers, and apples was conducted by 4 laboratories using wide-bore capillary column gas chromatography with electron capture detection. The 3 fungicides were determined using the Luke et al. multlresidue method modified to Include additional solvent elutlon in the optional Florisll column cleanup step used with this method. The crops were fortified with each fungicide at 3 levels per crop. Mean recoveries ranged from 86.2% for a 25.1 ppm level of captan in apples to 115.4% for a 0.288 ppm level of captafol In apples. Interlaboratory coefficients of variation ranged from 3.4% (24.7 ppm folpet) to 9.7% (0.243 ppm captafol) for tomatoes; from 2.8% (2.0 ppm captafol) to 8.2% (24.8 ppm captan) for cucumbers; and from 1.5% (0.234 ppm folpet) to 22.1% (0.266 ppm captafol) for apples.

Abstract Surrogate spiking the sample with 1000 parts per trillion (pptr) 1,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (1378-TCDD) has doubled analytical throughput in determining toxic 2378-TCDD (analyte) at the low partper- trillion level in fish, using multicolumn high resolution liquid chromatographic cleanup before quantitation by capillary gas chromatography with electron capture detection. The 1378- and 2378-TCDD were recovered equally and were well separated by the capillary column so that the earlier-eluting surrogate did not interfere with the quantitation of levels of analyte many-fold lower. Matrix interference contributed <1 % bias in surrogate quantitation. Using surrogate recovery to correct for analyte losses during analysis, accuracy averaged (n = 7) 105% in determining 18 or 45 pptr 2378-TCDD added to fish without detectable bioincurred analyte. Analyses of selected fish with bioincurred 2378-TCDD gave results comparable to earlier work where recovery correction required a second analysis of sample fortified with analyte. With surrogate fortification, repeatability of determination (n = 3 or 4) improved markedly to <5% relative standard deviation at 37-46 pptr.
