摘要

A reproducible and sensitive gas chromatographic method has been developed for the trace analysis of fluazifop-butyl, haloxyfop-ethoxyethyl and quizalofop-ethyl as well as their main metabolites (corresponding acids analysed after conversion to methyl esters) in some fruits and vegetables treated with herbicidal sprays. Comparable detection limits (0.01 mg/kg) were achieved when mass fragmentography and/or the electron capture detector were employed. However, in the latter case, bromination of fluazifop esters had to be carried out prior to GC analysis. By means of the nitrogen-phosphorus detector, determination of residues at a level of 0.05 mg/kg was possible. The residue values found in strawberries, cabbages, cauliflower and carrots were used to discuss the degree of metabolic hydrolysis of parent esters, i.e. active ingredients of herbicides.
