Abstract
Parameters affecting the extraction efficiency of various pesticides from a native contaminated soil sample (Corg = 4.4%) using an enhanced solvent extraction (ESE) technique were investigated. The defined settings of temperature (50/150 °C), pressure (180/240 MPa), static and dynamic extraction time (5/15 min and 0/5 min, respectively) yielded results which did not differ significantly (RSD = 5.9–11.8%). In comparison to a classical shake-out extraction method the yielded quantities were on average 14% higher using ESE. The established method achieved a high precision (RSD = 2.8–9.1%) for the pesticides extracted from native contaminated soil samples. A significant influence of the sample matrix on accuracy was not observed. The RSDs of thirteen pesticides extracted from spiked sea sand varied in a similar range from 1.7 to 9.8% and the recoveries were between 83 and 112%. The method has been applied to soil samples from vineyards routinely.
