Solid-Phase Extraction Cleanup of Halogenated Organic Pesticides Ruei-Ching Hsu,’ Inge Biggs, and Nirmal K. Saini Chemistry Laboratory Services, California Department of Food and Agriculture, 3292 Meadowview Road, Sacramento, California 95832 This study investigated the potential of solid-phase extraction (SPE) cartridges as replacements for Attagel in the cleanup procedure of halogenated organic pesticides in raw agricultural crops. Four commodities, broccoli, carrot, celery, and orange, were fortified with a total of 44 pesticides. Pesticides were analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) with electron capture detection (ECD). Cleanup with either Cl8 or Florisil SPE showed recoveries comparable to or better than that obtained by Attagel in most cases. Both CISand Florisil SPES showed significant differences in recoveries compared to that of Attagel.

Sincetheir introduction in the mid 1970s,SPE cartridges The current California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) multiresidue method (Joe, 1988) for have been reported to separate organochlorine pesticides screening of halogenated organic pesticides in raw agriin sewage sludge samples (Anon., 1989),in seafoodsamples cultural crops includes an Attagel cleanup of the final (Kohler and SU, 19g6), in waters (Sherma, iggg), in benzene solution followed by GC-ECD and electrolytic sediment and fish (Marble and Delfino, lggg), and in conductivity detection (ELCD). Due to the nonspecific samples ( ~ ~ ~et al., ~ 1989). ~ - N~~ nature of electron capture detection and the low residue comprehensive data are available on the cleanup of raw levels involved, matrix interference was evident in some agricultural crops for the determination of halogenated of the commodities. Therefore, cleanup methods have the pesticides. This study was conducted to been sought to substitute Attagel and benzene to minimize SPE cleanup in the routine PossibilitY of matrix interference and adsorption of pesticides on Attscreening method* age1and to eliminate the usage of the suspected carcinogen Only Cl8 and Florisil SPE cartridges (J.T.
