Abstract: | A method to determine 21 organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) in tree leaves [chestnut (Castanea sativa), hazel (Corylus avellana), oak (Quercus robur) and walnut tree (Juglans regia)] based on microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) followed by solid-phase extraction (SPE) clean-up is described. After extraction with hexane:acetone (50:50), four different sorbents (Florisil, tandem Florisil + alumina, silica and ENVI-Carb) were assayed for the clean-up step. Pesticides were eluted with 5 mL of hexane:ethyl acetate (80:20) and determined by gas chromatography and electron capture detection (GC-ECD). Carbon was the sorbent, which provided colourless eluates and chromatograms with less interferent compounds. Analytical recoveries obtained were ca. 100% for all the studied pesticides with this sorbent. |
