Determination of fenthion in environmental water samples by dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction coupled with spectrofluorimetric and chemometrics methods

In the present study, a simple, rapid and efficient dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction (DLLME) coupled with spectrofluorimetry and chemometrics methods have been proposed for the preconcentration and determination of fenthion in water samples. Box–Behnken design was applied for multivariate optimization of the extraction conditions (sample pH, the volume of dispersive solvent and volume of extraction solvent). Analysis of variance was performed to study the statistical significance of the variables, their interactions and the model. Under the optimum conditions, the calibration graph was linear in the range of 5.0–110.0 ng mL-1 with the detection limit of 1.23 ng mL-1 (3Sb/m). Parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC) and partial least square (PLS) modelling were applied for the multivariate calibration of the spectrofluorimetric data. The orthogonal signal correction (OSC) was applied for preprocessing of data matrices and the prediction results of model, and the analysis results were statistically compared. The accuracy of the methods, evaluated by the root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP) for fenthion by OSC-PARAFAC and OSC-PLS models were 0.37 and 0.78, respectively. The proposed procedure could be successfully applied for the determination of fenthion in water samples.

Determination of fenthion in urine samples using molecularly imprinted nanoparticles: modelling and optimisation by response surface methodology

ABSTRACT In the present study, a molecularly imprinted solid-phase extraction (MISPE) technique coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography was applied for selective extraction and recognition of fenthion insecticide in the biological sample. The nanoparticles of fenthion imprinted polymer were prepared by precipitation polymerisation using methacrylic acid (MAA) as functional monomer, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) as cross-linker, and 70 mL of chloroform. Morphological and structural characterisation was achieved by scanning electron microscopy and infrared spectrometry. The optimisation of parameters being effective on extraction yield was carried out by employing the central composite design (CCD). The empirical models were developed to link the output response and input variables and the proposed models were tested for significance through analysis of variance (ANOVA). The optimum conditions leading to the maximum efficiency of MISPE were sorbent mass of 8.61 mg, sample pH 4.93, sample flow rate of 2.07 mLmin−1, as well as 1.94 mL of methanol/acetic acid (95.7:4.3, v/v) at the flow rate of 1 mLmin−1 as elution solvent. Under the optimised conditions, a linear range of 20–120 μgL−1 was obtained and the limit of detection was found to be 4.58 μgL−1. Analysis of spiked urine samples demonstrated the satisfactory efficiency of the designed protocol ranging from 92.69 to 95.64% and the relative standard deviation (RSD) was calculated to be lower than 3.75%.

Determination of fenthion and its oxidative metabolites in olives and olive oil: Errors caused by matrix effects

A method for determination of fenthion residues and its oxidative metabolites (fenoxon, fenthion sulphoxide, fenthion sulphone, fenoxon sulphoxide, fenoxon sulphone) in olive pulp, oil and water obtained from olive pressing is described and evaluated. Recoveries for the improved gas chromatographic conditions were: 92–104% for fenthion, fenoxon, fenthion sulphone and fenoxon sulphone in the olive pulp matrix, whereas the mean recovery values for fenthion sulphoxide and fenoxon sulphoxide were respectively 140% and 118%. In the vegetation water matrix, the recoveries for fenthion, fenthion sulphoxide, fenoxon sulphoxide and fenoxon sulphone averaged between 91% and 103%. Higher values were obtained for fenoxon (139%) and for fenthion sulphone (115%). Recoveries for all metabolites in the oil matrix averaged between 100% and 104%. Detection limits ranged between 0.005 ng for fenthion to 0.02 ng for fenoxon sulphoxide and fenoxon sulphone. Three different gas chromatographic conditions are presented in order to underline how their choice could strongly affect the result because of the matrix effect on the gas chromatographic response. In some cases such an effect can increase the instrumental response up to three times the real value.

Dimethoate and fenthion as packing line treatments for tomatoes against Dacus tryoni (Froggatt)

Tomatoes were disinfested of Queensland fruit fly (Dacus tryoni) by using dimethoate or fenthion applied as sprays during grading and packing. Concentrations of 400 mg/L of either insecticide applied through a high-volume recirculatory flood system delivering 16 L/min.m2 were used to treat fruit moving at a speed of 0.5 m/min, on conveyor brushes, so that fruit was flooded for 10 s and remained fully wetted for a further 1 min. Treatment efficacies of 100% against 30 000 eggs and 30 000 larvae were obtained. The treatments were equally effective when used in conjunction with post-treatment cooling to 12.5�C for 1 week. No tainting problems were detected. Residues of dimethoate (also omethoate for selected samples) and fenthion in treated fruit were found to be less than the Australian Maximum Residue Limits for tomatoes at all times; methods for determination of fenthion and omethoate residues are described. These disinfestation treatments have advantages of automation and efficiency compared with previously proven dip treatments.
