Abstract Cleanup of residual organochlorine pesticides (OCPs; α-, β-, γ-, and δ-BHC; aldrin; dieldrin; p,p′-DDE; o,p′-DDT; p,p′-DDD; and p,p′-DUX) in eggs by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and Florisil minicolumn chromatography is described. Ten OCPs in purified extract are determined by gas chromatography with electron capture detection. The lipids extracted from whole egg are cleaned up first by GPC with an Envirogel column and an ethyl acetate-cychlohexane (1 + 1, v/v) mobile phase and then by Florisil minicolumn chromatography with 15% (v/v) diethyl ether-hexane eluant. Cleanup is highly efficient. Average recoveries of 10 spiked OCPs (0.0025-0.0125 ppm) ranged from 81 to 101%, with coefficients of variation between 1 and 14%. The detection limit was 0.001 ppm for the 10 OCPs

Cleanup Procedure

abstract A powerful cleanup procedure for determination of chlorinated pesticides and poly chlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in difficult agricultural matrixes like feeds or crops was developed to eliminate the interferences in chromatograms obtained by gas chromatography with electron capture detection. The adsorption material used was ENVI-Carb, a graphitized nonporous carbon material. This procedure proved to be more reliable than the established cleanup procedure, which uses gel permeation chromatography and silica gel cartridges. Because ENVI-Carb cleanup delivers clear, colorless eluates with no interferences, chlorinated pesticides and PCBs may be detected at levels as low as 0.0004 mg/kg for monitoring purposes. Accuracy was validated through a series of recovery experiments.

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 A method was developed for the determination of pentachlorophenol (PCP) in the seals and enamel of Mason lids. After extraction with acidic CH2Cl2 and methylation, the resulting pentachloroanisole was determined by gas-liquid chromatography (GLC) with electron capture detection (EC). Three of the 9 brands of lids examined contained PCP. Levels were as high as 198 μg/lid. Recoveries from fortified samples ranged from 92 to 103%. Six fruits and vegetables were canned by home canning techniques, using lids shown to contain PCP. PCP in these foods was determined by a procedure specifying extraction with acidic CH2Cl2 and gel permeation chromatography cleanup. Extracts were methylated and determined by GLC-EC. PCP was found in all the canned foods. Levels were as high as 16 μg/qt. Recoveries from foods fortified with PCP ranged from 85 to 94%. The presence of PCP was confirmed by GLC-mass spectrometric determination of the derivative, pentachloroanisole.

Abstract An analytical method was developed to quantitate polychlorinated and polybrominated biphenyls (PCBs and PBBs, respectively) in human serum. The method includes denaturation of the proteins in serum, extraction, adsorption chromatography, and gas chromatography with electron capture detection. The coefficients of variation for determining the in vivo bound PCBs and PBBs ranged from 11.7 to 29.8% and 7.1 to 14.0%, respectively. The method is capable of measuring 10 ng PCBs and PBBs/mL in 4 mL serum.

Abstract A gas chromatographic electron capture detector method is described for the quantitative determination of organochlorine pesticide residues in poultry fat. The samples are rendered and cleaned up using automated gel permeation chromatography. The collaborative samples consisted of 10 fortified samples and one incurred residue sample, all in duplicate. Fortification levels ranged from 0.15 to 1.0 ppm for a-BHC, lindane, cis- and frans-chlordane, octachlor epoxide, o,p' and p,p'-DDT, p,p'-DDE, p,p'-TDE, hexachlorobenzene, heptachlor epoxide, dieldrin, endrin, methoxychlor, mirex, and toxaphene. The average recovery was 91.9% with a range of 81-102%. The ranges of coefficients of variation were: CVo = 3.39-14.79%; CVL = 0-16.6%; and CVx = 5.82-19.0%. The results indicate accuracy and precision comparable to other official methodology. The method has been adopted official first action.

Ethylhexyl Phthalate

Abstract A new, simple, and rapid cleanup procedure is described for di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) residues in fish lipids. Extracts are chromatographed on small alumina:sulfuric acid-impregnated alumina (layered) columns after gel permeation chromatography of the fish lipid extracts on BioBeads SX-3. Quantitative analyses were carried out by electron capture gas chromatography using 2 columns. Spiked DEHP recoveries varied from 79.3% in mackerel to 86.1% in herring. DEHP concentrations were determined in plaice, eel, redfish, herring, cod, and mackerel tissues and ranged from trace (<0.001 µ/g) to approximately 10 µ/g (wet wt basis). Ethanolic KOH saponification of the purified DEHP fraction, resulting in the disappearance of the DEHP peak, was used as a confirmatory test. Limited studies with dibutyl, di-n-heptyl, and diethyl phthalates suggest that the method can be made more versatile.
