  1. Analysis of 203 Pesticide Residues in Drinking water using SPE, GC/MS/MS and LC/MS/MS Robert Sheridan New York State Dept. of Ag & Markets USDA PDP Program

  2. The Pesticide Data Program (PDP) • Began by USDA in 1991 as a data collection device to determine the amount of pesticide residues in the typical American diet • In 1996 the Food Quality Protection act required all pesticide residue tolerances to be reexamined based on exposure data • Data collection not enforcement

  3. The Need For Drinking WaterAnalysis • Since 1991 various foods were examined for low as well as high levels of pesticides • fruits,vegetables,milk • In 2000 the New York and California PDP labs were asked to develop analytical methods for drinking water • The method was to screen for as many pesticides as possible including some high priority compounds

  4. Water sampling • 11 finished drinking water sites throughout New York State • Each site sampled twice per month

  5. Goals of water analysis method • The method must include as many pesticides as possible at low detection limits ( ~10ng/L-ppt) • Several extraction methods • Several analysis methods • GC/MS/MS – LC/MS/MS • The method must not be so labor intensive as to be impractical • Should be automated SPE • Each analysis screen should include many compounds per injection to minimize the number of injections

  6. Range of compounds • GC amenable • Organophosphated, organochlorinated, non-heteroatom semivolatile • LC amenable • Gradient 1 - 0.15%acetic acid/MeOH 85:15 • N-methyl carbamates • Acid herbicides • Sulfonyl ureas • Imidizolinones • Gradient 2 – 0.15%acetic acid/MeOH 50:50 • Chloroacetanilide herbicide metabolites

  7. 3 Methods per sample • SPE with MCX phase (Waters) 1 litre GC/MS/MS (ion trap w/ 0.31um ID cap. column) GC-FPD (megabore 0.53 um ID column) • SPE with carbon phase ENVI- carb (Supelco) 1 litre LC/MS/MS (triple quadrupole) • SPE with C-18 phase 100ml LC/MS/MS (triple quadrupole) • chloroacetanilide herbicide metabolites

  8. Extraction Method 1 • precondition MCX SPE column with 3ml HIP (3:1 hexane : isopropanol) • Add 10ml of methanol to a 1 litre water sample. Add 1 g sodium thiosulfate • Condition SPE tube with 3ml MEOH and 3ml DDI water • Using autotrace (Zymark) load sample (~25ml/min) and dry • Place 0.5ml toluene in concentrator tube. Elute into tube with 10ml HIP and 5ml MEOH. • Solvent exchange to 0.5ml acetone. Add 0.5ml toluene andconcentrate to 0.5ml

  9. Analysis 1 Extract 1 • Analyzed by Saturn (Varian) GC/MS/MS ion trap • 91 compounds screened with instant confirmation and quantitation using fragment ion ratio match and spectrum match • MS/MS allows excellent sensitivity and selectivity with two injection on one instrument • Analyzed by GC-FPD • 62 relatively polar organophosphated pesticides that are difficult to resolve on narrow bore capillary columns • Confirmed by GC/MS/MS PolarisQ (ThermoQuest)

  10. Method 1 recoveries (from 153) % recovery % recovery • Dimethoate 98 chlorpyriphos 71 • Terbufos 75 trifluralin 68 • Diazinon 62 simazine 94 • Phorate 73 lindane 78 • Fenitrothion 78 quintozene 67 • Parathion 89 chlordane-c 79 • Ethion 76 chlordane-t 76 • Pirimiphos-m 66 endosulfanII 92 Methadithion 91 alachlor 93

  18. Extraction Method 2 • Add 1ml of Hydroxylamine Hydrochloride to a 1 litre sample. Add 10 gm NaCl and 1.5ml Glacial acetic acid and mix. • Condition ENVI-carb (Supelco) SPE tube with 2 x 5 ml 80:20 methylene chloride:methanol followed by 2 x 5ml DDI water. • Load sample using Autotrace (Zymark) at ~ 25ml/min and dry. • Elute with 2ml MeOH followed by 2 x 5ml 80:20 MeCl:MeOH and 5 ml acetone. • Concentrate and solvent exchange 0.5ml of LC mobile phase.

  19. Analysis 2 Extract 2 • Analyzed by Micromass Ultima LC/MS/MS triple quadrupole • 44 compounds screened with instant confirmation and quantitation using fragment ion ratio match • MS/MS allows excellent sensitivity and selectivity with two injections on one instrument • Since some compounds ionize positive ESI and some ionize negative ESI , two injections per sample is necessary. Compounds separated based on best ionization polarity efficiency.

  22. Extraction Method 3(chloroacetanilide herbicide metabolites) • Condition C-18 SPE tube with 2 ml MeOH and 2ml DDI water. • Load 100ml sample at ~ 10 ml/min with N2 pressure and dry. • Elute with 5ml MeOH . • Concentrate and solvent exchange 0.2ml of LC mobile phase.
