Negative ion chemical ionization GC/MS-MS analysis of dialkylphosphate metabolites of organophosphate pesticides in urine of non-occupationally exposed subjects

Negative ion chemical ionization GC/MS-MS analysis of dialkylphosphate metabolites of... Low level exposure to organophosphate (OP) pesticides can be determined by the measurement of dialkylphosphate (DAP) metabolites in urine. An analytical method is presented here which can measure the metabolites dimethyl phosphate (DMP), diethyl phosphate (DEP), dimethyl thiophosphate (DMTP), dimethyl dithiophosphate (DMDTP), diethyl thiophosphate (DETP), and diethyl dithiophosphate (DEDTP) at low levels. This was achieved by lyophilization of the urine, derivatization with pentafluorobenzyl bromide (PFBBr) and quantification by negative ion chemical ionization GC/MS-MS. The detection limits for the metabolites were 0.5 µg L DMP, 0.1 µg L DEP, 0.1 µg L DMTP, 0.04 µg L DMDTP, 0.04 µg L DETP and 0.02 µg L DEDTP. The RSD for the analytical method was 4–14% for the six metabolites. The method was used to monitor a group of non-occupationallyexposed individuals in Sydney, Australia. The metabolites DMP, DEP, DMTP, DMDTP, DETP and DEDTP occurred in 73, 77, 96, 48, 100 and 2% of the samples with median values of 13, 3, 12, <1, 1 and 1 µg L respectively. The method is simple to use, sensitive and suitable for routine analysis of non-occupational exposure levels. These detection limits are between one and two orders of magnitude lower than those previously reported in the literature. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png The Analyst Royal Society of Chemistry

Abstract

Low level exposure to organophosphate (OP) pesticides can be determined by the measurement of dialkylphosphate (DAP) metabolites in urine. An analytical method is presented here which can measure the metabolites dimethyl phosphate (DMP), diethyl phosphate (DEP), dimethyl thiophosphate (DMTP), dimethyl dithiophosphate (DMDTP), diethyl thiophosphate (DETP), and diethyl dithiophosphate (DEDTP) at low levels. This was achieved by lyophilization of the urine, derivatization with pentafluorobenzyl bromide (PFBBr) and quantification by negative ion chemical ionization GC/MS-MS. The detection limits for the metabolites were 0.5 µg L DMP, 0.1 µg L DEP, 0.1 µg L DMTP, 0.04 µg L DMDTP, 0.04 µg L DETP and 0.02 µg L DEDTP. The RSD for the analytical method was 4–14% for the six metabolites. The method was used to monitor a group of non-occupationallyexposed individuals in Sydney, Australia. The metabolites DMP, DEP, DMTP, DMDTP, DETP and DEDTP occurred in 73, 77, 96, 48, 100 and 2% of the samples with median values of 13, 3, 12, <1, 1 and 1 µg L respectively. The method is simple to use, sensitive and suitable for routine analysis of non-occupational exposure levels. These detection limits are between one and two orders of magnitude lower than those previously reported in the literature.
