Article Abstract
The Quick, Easy, Cheap, Effective, Rugged, and Safe (QuEChERS) method was applied to the extraction of 14 organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) residues from commercial fruit pulps available in supermarkets in Fortaleza, Northeastern Brazil. The analyses were carried out by gas chromatography (GC), coupled to an electron-capture detector (ECD), and were confirmed by GC-tandem mass spectrometry (MS). The parameters of the analytical method, such as accuracy, precision, linear range, limits of detection and quantification, were determined for each pesticide. The results showed good linearity (R ≥ 0.9916) and the overall average recoveries were considered satisfactory obtaining values between 69 and 110%, RSD of 2-15 %, except for hexachlorobenzene (HCB) in açai, acerola and guava pulp samples. The OCPs were detected in guava (α-HCH; lindane) and soursop (α, β-HCH isomers) samples. The QuEChERS method and GC-ECD were successfully used to analyze OCPs in commercially available Brazilian fruit pulps and can be applied in routine analytical laboratories.

QuEChERS method of extraction followed by detection with Liquid Chromatograph Mass spectrometry was carried out to determine persistence of tetraniliprole and its metabolite in pigeon pea. The mean recovery of tetraniliprole and its metabolite BCS-CQ 63359 in immature and mature pods, seeds and grains of pigeon pea and soil were in the range of 76.38-105.

Free phenol and cresol isomers in human samples have drawn interest, particularly in the field of forensic toxicology. In this study, a simultaneous analytical method for the detection of unchanged phenol and three structural isomers of cresol in human blood was developed using GC-MS/MS. This method was applied to authentic human heart and peripheral vein blood samples obtained from a fatal intoxication case involving accidental exposure to liquified phenol containing cresol isomers.

In this study, a modified QuEChERS method for the simultaneous determination of 73 pesticides, 23 PCBs and 16 PAHs in wheat was developed by gas chromatography-triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS). The sample was first hydrated with 4 mL of ultrapure water, extracted with 10 mL of acetone-hexane (1 : 1, V:V), and then cleaned up with a mixture of 50 mg of PSA, 150 mg of C18, and 400 mg of anhydrous MgSO. Under the optimized conditions, the samples were analyzed by GC-MS/MS for quantitative analysis using the matrix-matched external standard method.

The objective of this study is the degradation of a mixture of three pesticides from three distinct families: Metalaxyl (fungicide), Metolachlor (herbicide), and Diazinon (organophosphate Insecticide). In this work, the enhanced advanced oxidation process known as "Photo-Fenton" was first optimized, and the mineralization step was determined. The experimental design and response surface "three-parameter Doehlert design" were employed as the experimental methodology to modeling and optimizing the experimental parameters.
