Abstract:
A rapid and efficient method based on solid phase extraction and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry was validated, allowing the determination of the endocrine-disrupting herbicides (acetochlor, alachlor, amitrole and atrazine), fungicides (carbendazim, triadimefon, penconazole and propiconazole), and insecticides (carbaryl and carbofuran) in drinking water. Low method detection limits (0.01-0.64 ng/L) and method quantification limits (0.03-2.13 ng/L) were obtained with satisfactory recoveries and precision for the endocrine-disrupting pesticides. The method was applied for real drinking water samples collected in the area of the city of Hangzhou (Zhejiang, China); the results showed that carbendazim, atrazine and acetochlor were detected in the drinking water samples and acetochlor was the most detected analyte.
