Abstract/OtherAbstract:
In this study, a new method was developed for analyzing malathion, cypermethrin and lambda-cyhalothrin from soil samples by using homogeneous liquid-liquid extraction (HLLE) and gas chromatography with electron capture detector (GC-ECD). Acetone was used as extraction solvent for the extraction of target pesticides from soil samples. When the extraction process was finished, the target analytes in the extraction solvent were rapidly transferred from the acetone extract to carbon tetrachloride, using HLLE. Under the optimum conditions, linearity was obtained in the range of 0.05-40 microg kg(-1) for malathion, 0.04-10 microg kg(-1) for lambda-cyhalothrin and 0.05-50 microg kg(-1) for cypermethrin, respectively. Coefficients of correlation (r(2)) ranged from 0.9993 to 0.9998. The repeatability was carried out by spiking soil samples at concentration levels of 2.5 microg kg(-1) for lambda-cyhalothrin, and 10 microg kg(-1) for malathion and cypermethrin, respectively. The relative standard deviations (RSDs) varied between 2.3 and 9.6% (n=3). The limits of detection (LODs), based on signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) of 3, varied between 0.01 and 0.04 microg kg(-1). The relative recoveries of three pesticides from soil A1, A2 and A3 at spiking levels of 2.5, 5 and 10 microg kg(-1) were in the range of 82.20-91.60%, 88.90-110.5% and 77.10-98.50%, respectively. In conclusion, the proposed method can be successfully applied for the determination of target pesticide residues in real soil samples.
