RESUMO

In this work, a method for multiclass determination of 70 pesticides residues with different properties in drinking water using solid phase extraction (SPE) with polymeric sorbent and determination by gas and liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS and LC-MS/MS) was developed and validated. Different sample volumes, sorbents and elution solvents were evaluated. The best results were obtained using the sorbent Oasis® HLB, sample acidified at pH 2.5 and a mixture of dichloromethane/methanol as eluent. The limit of quantification (LOD) of the method was 0.02 µg L-1 for aldrin, dieldrin and chlordane and 0.5 µg L-1 for the other compounds. Satisfactory accuracy, with recoveries between 70 and 117.3%, and good precision, with relative standard deviation (RSD) values below 19.7% for most of the compounds, were achieved. The validated method was applied to real water samples and results indicated that the proposed method is suitable for the determination of pesticide residues in water samples.
