Advanced Identification and Quantification of Pesticide Residues in Vegetables by GC-ToFMS Technique

Abstract:

The identification and quantification of a large range of pesticide residues (e.g. fungicides, insecticides, acaricides) in vegetables from Romania markets, in Maramures, Alba Iulia and Botosani region, was performed by gas-chromatography coupled with time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC-ToFMS) to better assess the impact of agricultural practices that may result from 'accidental' application of higher doses of treatment solutions. The ion chromatograms obtained by GC-ToFMS enabled us to easily quantify at ppb level and to record the entire spectrum at high speeds (up to 500 spectra/second) without losing of the data quality. Although, most of the pesticide residues detected were below the limits set by the law, the results highlighted concentrations that exceeded the maximum allowed for toclofos-methyl and malathion from recent treatments and still high levels of alpha- and beta-hexachlorocyclohexane (mostly in green lettuce) from the historical treatments. It was also evidenced that green lettuce accumulated more than 77% higher amount of pesticides than cucumber, green beans and tomatoes.
