Abstract:
Residues of organophosphates and carbamate pesticides in products of plant and animal origin were determined by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry on an instrument Waters Acquity UPLC MS / MS. Matrix for determination of pesticide residues was honey. Carbamates (Carbaryl, Carbofuran, Pirimicarb) were determined in eight samples of honey, while organophospates residue (Diazinon, Malathion, Ethion, Kumafos) determined in 11 samples of honey. Reference values for carbamates according to the Official Gazette No. 89/12 has amount of 0,01 mg/kg, while the reference value for organophosphate according to the Official Gazette No. 89/12 has amount of Diazinon, Malathion, Ethion 0.01 mg / kg and 0, 1 mg /kg of coumaphos. The limit of detection (LOD) for the aforementioned method had amounted of 0.001 mg / kg for Carbaryl, Carbofuran, Pirimicarb, and 0,003 mg/kg of Diazinon, Ethion and Kumafos, and 0,002 mg/kg to Malathion. All the results were below the detection limit of the method, and hence far below the MRL values.
