Abstract

This study established an ultra high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method for the determination of alkylphenol polyoxyethylene (APEOs) in pesticide formulations. APEOs were separated on a Waters-BEH C18 column, measured by a multi-reaction monitoring mode (MRM) with an electrospray positive ion source (ESI+), and quantified by an external standard method. The matrix standard curve of APEOs (n=3-20) in aqueous solutions, water emulsion, suspension concentrate, emulsifiable concentrate,granules and wettable powder had a good linearity in the range of 0.047-1β503.6βmg·kg-1with the correlation coefficient (r) between 0.996β1 and 0.999β9. The recovery of APEOs spiked in the level of 0.5-1β503.6βmg·kg-1 ranged from 83.8-120.4% with relative standard deviation (RSD) of 0.6-13.7%, and the limits of quantity (LOQs) of 0.5~150.4βmg·kg-1. Among the 51 pesticide formulations used in tea gardens, the percentage of Octylphenol ethoxylates (OPEOs) was less than 0.5%. The mass fraction of nonylphenol ethoxylates (NPEOs) was ND-32.1% and the detection rate was 90.2%, indicating the wide use of NPEOs in pesticides in tea gardens.
