Multi-Class Pesticide Residues and Their Associated Dietary Health Risks from Tomato and Aubergine/Eggplant; the Highly Consumed Vegetables in Pakistan
Abstract:An analytical method was optimized and validated for the routine analysis of eighteen commonly used and widely reported pesticides in Tomato and Aubergine/Eggplant. Acetate-buffered QuEChERS (Quick, Easy, Cheap, Effective, Rugged, and Safe) extraction with PSA (primary secondary amines) cleanup through dispersive SPE (solid phase extraction) was employed. The analytical method was validated at three spiking levels (0.05, 0.01, 0.005mg/Kg) using GC-µECD (gas chromatograph-micro electron capture detector). GC-MS… Show more
“…[44][45][46] The mini-QuEChERS method proposed in this work has an efficiency for pesticides that is at least similar to other reported QuEChERS methods applied to different samples. [47][48][49][50][51] However, the proposed method has the advantages of lower consumption of acetonitrile, MgSO 4 , and NaCl and does not require a cleanup step, as seen in Table 4.…”

The expansion of monocultures to regions close to conservation areas has put biodiversity at risk, mainly due to the intense use of pesticides. Anurans are highly susceptible to pesticides and...
