Abstract
Simultaneous determination of several dinitroaniline herbicides in environmental samples (soil, plant and air) was performed by gas chromatography with ion trap and nitrogen-phosphorus detection.Soil was extracted with ethyl acetate on an orbit shaker and plants were extracted with methanol in a Sorvall homogenizer. The plant extract was purified on a Florisil column before gas chromatographic analysis. The dinitroaniline herbicides volatilized from soil were trapped on a Florisil column, eluted with acetone and then analyzed by gas chromatography.The concentrations of these compounds were determined by gas chromatography with nitrogen-phosphorus detection on a HP-1 capillary column and with ion trap detection on a BP-1 capillary column. Helium was used as carrier gas.In all cases, the average recoveries were higher than 75%. The limit of detection for these herbicides was, at least, 0.01 μg/g in soil, 0.05 μg/g in plant and 1 ng/l in air with both gas chromatographic methods.
