We investigated simultaneous analytical methods for pesticide residues in large numbers of agricultural products samples. Extraction of each sample with acetonitrile was followed by a salting-out step using a graduated cylinder. The test solution was cleaned up with gel permeation chromatography (GPC), which separated the pesticide eluate into 2 fractions, and then with a tandem mini-column. Analysis was done with a dual-column GC equipped with a dual NPD and FPD (S mode) detector. Use of the Siltek TM -deactivated liner, guard column, and Y connector, and Silcosteel ῌ -treated NPD jet was e#ective for preventing the breakdown of sulfur-containing pesticides.Recoveries of 87 nitrogen-containing and sulfur-containing pesticides from fortified spinach, tomato, apple, strawberry and brown rice, ranged from 71 to 127 with RSD values of 1ῑ24, except for recoveries of aldicarb, amitraz, ethiofencarb, imazalil, propamocarb and triflumizole. Detection limits of pesticides were very good (0.3ῑ5 ppb (NPD) and 2ῑ20 ppb (FPD)) for routine analysis of pesticide residues in foods.Surveillance of pesticides in agricultural products was carried out by using the present method. From 22 out of 33 samples, 21 pesticides (43 in total) were detected. The results indicated that the present method can be applied as an e$cient and reliable means for monitoring pesticide residues in agricultural products.
