Pendimethalin in surface waters of rivers in the proximity of irrigated paddy fields by solid phase microextraction and gas chromatography

Abstract: The aim of this study was to develop an analytical methodology for the determination of the herbicide pendimethalin in river waters in the towns of Turvo and Meleiro in the southern region of Santa Catarina State, Brazil. The method, based on solid phase microextraction (SPME) followed by separation and detection by gas chromatography (GC) and electron capture detection (ECD), respectively, was optimised and validated. The limits of detection (LOD) and quantification (LOQ) of 0.02 and 0.06 mg L À1 , respective… Show more

“…Due to the common usage of this chemical compound with various formulations, pendimethalin has been detected at high concentrations in rivers in Brittany, France (840 ng/L), and in surface waters in several European countries, which is known to affect various biotic components of freshwater ecosystems, such as phytoplankton, zooplankton, and aquatic fauna [ 9 ]. In Brazil, the contamination by pendimethalin in 53 river water samples ranged from 0.06 to 0.38 μ g/L [ 10 ]. The hard clam samples showed contamination by pendimethalin at levels from 16.1 to 60.1 ng/g in China [ 11 ].…”
