Abstract
Abuse of herbicides in food safety is a vital concern that has an influence on the sustainable development of the world. This work presents, a modified ionization method with separation of the sample and carrier gas inlets, which was utilized for efficient ionization and analyte transfer of herbicides in crops. The working parameters of voltage, injective distance, desorption temperature, and the carrier gas flow rate were optimized to achieve the high efficiency of the transfer and ionization of the analyte. When it was applied in the analysis of herbicides in laboratory, the method exhibited excellent performance in achieving the quantitative detection of herbicides in solutions and residues spiked in an actual matrix with a limit of quantification of 1-20 μg/kg and relative standard deviations of less than 15%. Although a simple QuEchERS process was used, the programmable heating platform ensured efficient gasification and transfer of the target analyte, with the advantages of high speed and selectivity, avoiding the noted matrix effect. The method exhibited a relatively acceptable performance by using air as the discharged gas (open air). It could be used to monitor herbicide residues in the growth stage via on-site non-destructive analysis, which obtained low LODs by dissociating the herbicides from the crops without any pretreatment. It showed great potential for the supervision of the food safety market by achieving non-destructive detection of crops anytime and anywhere. This finding may provide new insights into the determination of pesticide emergence and rice quality assessment.

CHEMOSPHERE 2023; 318:137962. [PMID: 36708776 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2023.137962] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/02/2022] [Revised: 01/20/2023] [Accepted: 01/23/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
A quantitative multiresidue analytical method for the simultaneous analysis of current-use agricultural pesticides in surface waters is reported. The method involves minimal sample manipulation and small sample collection volumes (for 1 mL and 5 mL injections) with online sample clean-up and analyte preconcentration on a hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) column. To our knowledge, this online approach with the use of an HLB column has not yet been reported for multiresidue pesticide analysis in surface waters. Chromatographic separations of isomeric pesticides were achieved through the sequential coupling of C8 and polar endcapped C18 analytical columns. High resolution accurate mass (HRAM) quadrupole Orbitrap spectrometry was performed in full scan mode followed by data-dependent MS/MS fragmentation (FS-ddMS2) with concurrent electrospray ionization in both positive and negative modes. The method was validated for thirty-one (31) diverse current-use pesticides and demonstrated strong linearity (R2 > 0.9912) and precision (% RSD <8.4%) with low quantitation limits (average LOQ of 41 ng L-1). The majority of target analytes experienced minimal matrix effects (<±20%) in fortified environmental water samples. When applied to surface water samples, the method detected fourteen of the target analytes, including twelve herbicides, one insecticide, and one fungicide. This method offers a fast, simple, and reliable approach for the quantitative analysis of diverse current-use pesticides in surface water samples within hours of sample collection in the field. The robust nature of the method may allow for potential application to other types of water and the targeted or untargeted screening of other emerging contaminants.

Abstract
Pesticide residues in food matrices, threatening the survival and development of humanity, is one of the critical challenges worldwide. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) possess excellent properties, which include excellent adsorption capacity, tailorable shape and size, hierarchical structure, numerous surface-active sites, high specific surface areas, high chemical stabilities, and ease of modification and functionalization. These promising properties render MOFs as advantageous porous materials for the extraction and detection of pesticides in food samples. This review is based on a brief introduction of MOFs and highlights recent advances in pesticide extraction and detection through MOFs. Furthermore, the challenges and prospects in this field are also described.

Abstract
An analytical method involving modified QuEChERS (quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged and safe) technique coupled with LC-MS/MS (liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectroscopy) has been developed for simultaneous identification and quantification of 71 pesticides (insecticides/acaricides/nematicides (32), fungicides (12), herbicides (26), plant growth regulator (1)) in different pulses (edible seeds of leguminous plants), namely gram, lentil, black gram and pea. The analysis was done using Shimadzu LC-MS/MS-8030 instrument equipped with Zorbax Eclipse Plus C-18 column operating under electrospray ionization (ESI) in positive and negative modes. Validation of method was done as per a single laboratory validation approach. Nine-point linear calibration curves for each pesticide were obtained in the range of 0.005 to 2 μg/g with correlation coefficient of ≥ 0.98. Limit of detection (LOD) for all the pesticides was achieved in the range of 0.001-0.015 μg/g, whereas the limit of quantification (LOQ) were found in the range of 0.01-0.05 μg/g. Recovery studies were conducted at 0.01- and 0.05-μg/g level of fortification using modified buffered QuEChERS method standardized for low moisture foods. It was observed that due to matrix interference, only around 75% of the pesticides were recovered in an acceptable range of 70-120% when compared against the solvent standard. With matrix-matched standards, 95% of the recovery results came within acceptable range with highly acceptable HorRat ratio (between 0.2 and 0.8) indicating satisfactory precision. The global and expanded uncertainties for estimation of each pesticide in above-mentioned pulse matrices were calculated to evaluate the suitability of the developed method for quantification of pesticides in pulse matrices.

Abstract
Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is a widely used standard method for sensitive detection of analytes of environmental, clinical, or biotechnological interest. However, ELISA has clear drawbacks related to the use of relatively unstable antibodies and enzyme conjugates and the need for several steps such as washing of nonbound conjugates and addition of dye reagents. Herein, we introduce a new completely abiotic assay where antibodies and enzymes are replaced with fluorescent molecularly imprinted polymer nanoparticles (nanoMIPs) and target-conjugated magnetic nanoparticles, which acted as both reporter probes and binding agents. The components of the molecularly imprinted polymer nanoparticle assay (MINA) are assembled in microtiter plates fitted with magnetic inserts. We have compared the performance of a new magnetic assay with molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP)-based ELISA for the detection of methyl parathion (MP). Both assays have shown high sensitivity toward allowing detection of MP at picomolar concentrations without any cross-reactivity against chlorpyriphos and fenthion. The fully abiotic assays were also proven to detect analyte in real samples such as tap water and milk. Unlike ELISA-based systems, the novel assay required no washing steps or addition of enzyme substrates, making it more user-friendly and suitable for high throughput screening.

Abstract
The persistence of glyphosate and its primary metabolite AMPA (aminomethylphosphonic acid) was monitored in two areas in Southern Greece (Peza, Crete and Chora Trifilias, Peloponnese) with a known history of glyphosate use, and the levels of residues were linked to spray operators' activities in the respective areas. A total of 170 samples were collected and analysed from both areas during a 3-year monitoring study. A new method (Impact Assessment Procedure - IAP) designed to assess potential impacts to the environment caused by growers' activities, was utilised in the explanation of the results. The level of residues was compared to the predicted environmental concentrations in soil. The ratio of the measured concentrations to the predicted environmental concentrations (MCs/PECs) was > 1 in Chora the first 2 years of sampling and < 1 in the third year, whilst the MCs/PECs ratio was < 1 in Peza, throughout the whole monitoring period. The compliance to the instructions for best handling practices, which operators received during the monitoring period, was reflected in the amount of residues and the MCs/PECs ratio in the second and especially the third sampling year. Differences in the level of residues between areas as well as sampling sites of the same area were identified. AMPA persisted longer than the parent compound glyphosate in both areas.

Abstract
In the present study, a soil monitoring program was undertaken in Greek cotton cultivated areas in 2012. Twenty-seven soil samples were collected from the entire Thessaly plain in early summer of 2012, corresponding to approximately three months (current use of pendimethalin), up to one year (for the banned ethalfluralin), and three years (for the also banned trifluralin), after the last dinitroaniline application. Low but not negligible levels of dinitroanilines were detected, ranging from 0.01 to 0.21 μg g-1 d.w. for trifluralin and 0.01-0.048 μg g-1 d.w. for pendimethalin, respectively. Trifluralin was the herbicide most frequently detected (44.4%). The high historic application of trifluralin and its high persistence and accumulation potential is in line with the abundance of the detected residues. The present data indicate that soil samples contain extractable residues of banned trifluralin, but based on the comparison of the theoretical PECplateau for trifluralin (0.277 µg g-1) and the maximum Measured Environmental Concentration, it was concluded that the detected residues should be attributed to previous years' application. The latter suggested the need for continual monitoring of the dinitroaniline family of pesticides, including the banned substances, aiming thus to an improved environmental profile for agricultural areas.

Abstract
An effective analysis method was developed based on a chemometric tool for the simultaneous quantification of five different post-harvest pesticides (2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), carbendazim, thiabendazole, iprodione, and prochloraz) in fruits and vegetables. In the modified QuEChERS (quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged and safe) method, the factors and responses for optimization of the extraction and cleanup analyses were compared using the Plackett-Burman (P-B) screening design. Furthermore, the significant factors (toluene percentage, hydrochloric acid (HCl) percentage, and graphitized carbon black (GCB) amount) were optimized using a central composite design (CCD) combined with Derringer's desirability function (DF). The limits of quantification (LOQs) were estimated to be 1.0 μg/kg for 2,4-D, carbendazim, thiabendazole, and prochloraz, and 1.5 μg/kg for iprodione in food matrices. The mean recoveries were in the range of 70.4-113.9% with relative standard deviations (RSDs) of less than 16.9% at three spiking levels. The measurement uncertainty of the analytical method was determined using the bottom-up approach, which yielded an average value of 7.6%. Carbendazim was most frequently found in real samples analyzed using the developed method. Consequently, the analytical method can serve as an advantageous and rapid tool for determination of five preservative pesticides in fruits and vegetables.

Abstract
The present study was focused on the comparative evaluation of pesticide residues, determined in soil samples from Kopaida region, Greece before and after the implementation of Low-Input Crop Management (LCM) protocols. LCM has been suggested as an environmental friendly plant protection approach to be applied on crops growing in vulnerable to pollution ecosystems, with special focus on the site specific problems. In the case of the specific pilot area, the vulnerability was mainly related to the pollution of water bodies from agrochemicals attributed to diffuse pollution primarily from herbicides and secondarily from insecticides. A total of sixty-six soil samples, were collected and analyzed during a three-year monitoring study and the results of the determined pesticide residues were considered for the impact evaluation of applied plant protection methodology. The LCM was developed and applied in the main crops growing in the pilot area i.e. cotton, maize and industrial tomato. Herbicides active ingredients such as ethalfluralin, trifluralin, pendimethalin, S-metolachlor and fluometuron were detected in most samples at various concentrations. Ethalfluralin, which was the active ingredient present in the majority of the samples ranged from 0.01 μg g(-1) to 0.26 μg g(-1) soil dry weight. However, the amount of herbicides measured after the implementation of LCM for two cropping periods, was reduced by more than 75% in all cases. The method of analysis was based on the simultaneous extraction of the target compounds by mechanical shaking, followed by liquid chromatography mass spectrometric and gas chromatography electron capture (LC-MS/MS and GC-ECD) analysis.

Accurate determination of selected pesticides in soya beans by liquid chromatography coupled to isotope dilution mass spectrometry. Talanta 2015; 137:120-9.

Abstract
A sensitive, accurate and simple liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry method for the determination of 10 selected pesticides in soya beans has been developed and validated. The method is intended for use during the characterization of selected pesticides in a reference material. In this process, high accuracy and appropriate uncertainty levels associated to the analytical measurements are of utmost importance. The analytical procedure is based on sample extraction by the use of a modified QuEChERS (quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, safe) extraction and subsequent clean-up of the extract with C18, PSA and Florisil. Analytes were separated on a C18 column using gradient elution with water-methanol/2.5 mM ammonium acetate mobile phase, and finally identified and quantified by triple quadrupole mass spectrometry in the multiple reaction monitoring mode (MRM). Reliable and accurate quantification of the analytes was achieved by means of stable isotope-labelled analogues employed as internal standards (IS) and calibration with pure substance solutions containing both, the isotopically labelled and native compounds. Exceptions were made for thiodicarb and malaoxon where the isotopically labelled congeners were not commercially available at the time of analysis. For the quantification of those compounds methomyl-(13)C2(15)N and malathion-D10 were used respectively. The method was validated according to the general principles covered by DG SANCO guidelines. However, validation criteria were set more stringently. Mean recoveries were in the range of 86-103% with RSDs lower than 8.1%. Repeatability and intermediate precision were in the range of 3.9-7.6% and 1.9-8.7% respectively. LODs were theoretically estimated and experimentally confirmed to be in the range 0.001-0.005 mg kg(-1) in the matrix, while LOQs established as the lowest spiking mass fractionation level were in the range 0.01-0.05 mg kg(-1). The method reliably identifies and quantifies the selected pesticides in soya beans at appropriate uncertainty levels, making it suitable for the characterization of candidate reference materials.

Abstract
AbstractOne of the quantification methods frequently applied to pesticide residue analysis in food by liquid chromatography — mass spectrometry (LC-MS) involves matrix-matched calibrations with a representative matrix used for all commodities belonging to one group. This approach, although very practical, is deemed to generate analytical errors. The effect of the application of a representative-matrix calibration curve on the pesticide quantification result was examined. Extractions of 56 pesticides from five soft fruits (strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, black currant and red currant) were carried out using QuEChERS method. Pesticide determinations were performed by LC-MS/MS in multiple reaction monitoring mode. Quantification difference functions and parameters were proposed and calculated. At the concentration of 0.05 mg kg−1 for ca. 90% of examined pesticides the quantification difference arising from the use of a representative matrix calibration curve (raspberries) instead of a specific fruit matrix calibration curve was below 20% for black and red currents, and below 30% and 35% in the case of strawberries and blackberries, respectively. The 25% difference limit was not exceeded for 51 pesticides in black and red currents, 46 pesticides in blackberries and 45 pesticides in strawberries. Quantification difference functions and parameters such as relative standard deviation of corrected process efficiencies were found to be helpful in data-driven decision-making on the applicability of a representative matrix; the former may be also used as a tool for data correction to ensure the reliability and accuracy of analyses.
