Abstract o-Tolidine plus KI, p-nitrobenzene-diazoniumfluoroborate, bioassay with fungi and enzyme sources, AgNO3 plus UV radiation, and p-dimethyl-aminobenzaldehyde modes of detection have been selected for TLC screening of pesticide residues in extracts of samples of unknown origin. Single solvents were used for the elution. Coefficients of variation of Rf values were studied as a function of Rf and eluants. Indicator compounds were used for controlling the proper conditions of detection. The detectability of 188 pesticide compounds was tested, and the minimum detectable amounts were determined.

Abstract Gas-liquid chromatography (GLC) following conventional isolation procedures has been used to clean up pesticide residues for confirmation by thin layer chromatography (TLC). This procedure is more rapid and efficient than present cleanup procedures and permits the determination of pesticide residues that do not survive these rigorous acid or alkali treatments. The method also permits TLC confirmation of pesticide residues that have similar Rf values but different GLC retention times. Recoveries ranged from 85 to 105% for 25 of 28 pesticides tested

Abstract A simple method for determination of organophosphorus pesticide residues at the parts per million level In milk was developed. Pesticide residues were extracted with acetonitrlle added to aqueous milk, fat was removed by zinc acetate addition and dichloromethane partition, and analytes were concentrated and analyzed by wide-bore capillary column gas chromatography. Recoveries of 6 pesticides spiked in milk samples at levels of 0.1 and 1.0 μg/mL were 82.1- 93.8% and 79.7-96.6%, respectively. Triplicate samples spiked with 6 pesticides at 1 itg/mL were analyzed independently by 3 laboratories. Average recoveries were greater than 80%, and the mean coefficients of variation for the complete study were 2.9% for diazlnon, 5.4% for dimethoate, 4.6% for malathlon, 4.6% for parathlon, 4.9% for EPN, and 6.1% for phosalone.

Abstract Optimum conditions have been developed for the quantitative recovery of coumaphos from animal fat by using a commercial sweep codistillation unit. Under the conditions specified (255°C distillation temperature, 250 mL/min of nitrogen, 60 min sweep time) and using Florisil trapping, the mean recovery of coumaphos was 91% with a coefficient of variation of 6%. Other organophosphorus pesticides recovered include diazinon, chlorpyrifos, ethion, and bromophos-ethyl with recoveries ranging from 90 to 96% and coefficients of variation ranging between 4 and 6%.

Abstract Ten laboratories collaboratively studied several single sweep oscillopolarographic methods designed to be used as confirmative procedures for several organophosphorus pesticide residues determined by GLC. Polarographic methods for the detection and determination of parathion, methyl parathion, diazinon, and/or malathion at 0.5 and 2.0 ppm in extracts of apples and lettuce were included in this study. All 10 laboratories successfully detected the organophosphorus pesticide residues and quantitative results were reported by seven laboratories. These results show that the polarographic methods can be used for rapidly confirming results obtained by the multiple detection procedures now in use.
