Abstract: | A new and simple method has been developed for the determination of a group of four benzimidazole pesticides (carbendazim/benomyl, thiabendazole, and fuberidazole), a carbamate (carbaryl), and an organophosphate (triazophos), together with two of their main metabolites (2-aminobenzimidazole, metabolite of carbendazim/benomyl, and 1-naphthol, metabolite of carbaryl) in soils. First, an ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) was performed, followed by evaporation and reconstitution in water. Then, extraction and preconcentration of the analytes was accomplished by two-phase hollow-fiber liquid-phase microextraction (HF-LPME) using 1-octanol as extraction solvent. Parameters that affect the extraction efficiency in HF-LPME technique (organic solvent, pH of the sample, extraction time, stirring speed, temperature, and ionic strength) were deeply investigated. Optimum HF-LPME conditions involved the use of a 2.0 cm polypropylene fiber filled with 1-octanol to extract 10 mL of an aqueous soil extract at pH 9.0 containing 20% (v/v) of NaCl for 30 min at 1440 rpm. Separation and quantification was achieved by HPLC with fluorescence detection (FD). The proposed optimum UAE-HF-LPME-HPLC-FD methodology provided good calibration, precision, and accuracy results for two soils of different physicochemical properties. LODs were in the range 0.001-6.94 ng/g (S/N = 3). With the aim of extending the validation, the HF-LPME method was also applied to different types of waters (Milli-Q, mineral and run-off), obtaining LODs in the range 0.0002-0.57 μg/L. |
