Abstract | A miniaturized, QuEChERS based, liquid–liquid extraction method followed by tandem gas chromatography–mass spectrometry determination was developed and validated for 76 pesticide residues determination in water using European SANTE/11312/2021 guideline and monitored the 70 ground water samples collected from Delhi NCR, India region for the determination of pesticide residues. The accuracy, precision, specificity, linearity, recovery, repeatability, reproducibility, robustness, limit of detection and limit of quantification of the method were evaluated. Uncertainty measurement was calculated for each analyte. The samples were extracted with dichloromethane using liquid-liquid extraction process. Each Pesticide was optimized in terms of different MS parameters and chromatographic conditions by GC-MS/MS using Multiple Reaction Monitoring (MRM) mode. In linearity regression co-efficient (R2) value of each pesticide was determined in the range of 0.9856-0.9997. The percent average recoveries were found from 87.98—119.99 at 1, 5 and 10 LOQ spiking level. The method performance complied with the regulatory requirements, and thus, can be implemented. LOD and LOQ of the pesticides were found 10µg/L and 30µg/L respectively. Expanded Measurement of uncertainty of all pesticides was below ±50 percent of mean recovery value as per SANTE 11312/2021. Organophosphorous, fungicides, and pyrethroids were the group of pesticides most frequently found. In this study, 12 pesticides were found above the MRL (EEC Council Directive 1980/778/EEC). Additionally, dieldrin, which is now banned by law in India, was found in samples of ground water. The method provided a high throughput analysis of multi-class pesticides with satisfactory selectivity, sensitivity, accuracy, and precision. |
