Validation of a multiclass multiresidue method and monitoring results for 210 pesticides in fruits and vegetables by gas chromatography-triple quadrupole mass spectrometry

A rapid, sensitive, accurate and reliable multiresidue method for the identification and quantification of 210 relevant pesticides in four representative fruit and vegetable commodities (tomato, potato, spring onion and orange) has been developed and validated by gas chromatography in tandem with triple quadrupole mass spectrometry. The method has been fully validated and applied to 292 samples from different countries. Prior to instrumental analysis, an extraction procedure based on a sample extraction of multiclass analytes, using the ethyl acetate method was employed. Mass spectrometric conditions were individually optimized for each compound in the selected reaction monitoring (SRM) mode to achieve maximum sensitivity. The pesticides were separated in less than 25 min. This was followed by an exhaustive control of the retention times. The Retention Time Locking Method was applied, working at a constant pressure throughout the analysis. System maintenance was reduced by using a purged capillary flow device that provided backflush capabilities by reversing column flow immediately after elution of the last compound of interest. Istotopically labelled internal standards were employed to improve the quality of the analytical results.     

Measurement of Fruit and Vegetable Losses in Brazil: A Case Study

This research conducted on municipal solid waste management for the first time quantified food spoilage as being 8.8% weight of all officially collected household garbage in the Brazilian city under study. The unexpected size of this waste fraction gave rise to work on the causes of waste and on its distribution over the product life cycle specific to fruit and vegetables. Waste was defined as being the combination of losses and scraps. Administrative shortcomings were identified as basic reasons for waste. At the producer and consumer ends of the cycle, negligence was shown to be the single most important problem. Fruit and vegetables deteriorate during the operations of handling, transport, packaging, storage, selling and consumption. The study detailed the occurrence of waste at all of these stages. In the medium-size Brazilian city, the total waste of fruit and vegetables was shown to amount to 16.6% weight in the marketing stage of the life cycle. At the consumer level, it was measured as 3.4% weight of all household garbage. Specific reasons for this waste were identified at the levels of producer, wholesaler and retailer. Short-term remedies were pointed out that invariably corrected deficient management procedures. It was shown that very simple administrative measures can significantly reduce the spoilage of fruit and vegetables. Long-term strategies involve the creation of sample cases for administration of the fruit and vegetables life cycle at all stages.

MULTI-MEDIA CONCENTRATIONS OF HEAVY METALS AND MAJOR IONS FROM URBAN AND RURAL SITES IN NEW BRUNSWICK, CANADA

Concentrations of heavy metals and major ions were measured in precipitation, snowpack, garden soils and vegetables from urban and rural sites in New Brunswick in Atlantic Canada. Atmospheric loading of mercury, lead, cadmium, arsenic, strontium, and vanadium need further assessment. Vanadium concentrations in precipitation, snowpack, soils and vegetables showed an urban influence. Vanadium concentrations in the snowpack ranged between <2.0 ppb at 50 kilometers from the city center to 31.4 ppb in the city. Concentrations of all heavy metals in urban soils were less than CCME remediation guidelines but selected metals exceeded the assessment benchmark non-regulatory guidelines. Major ions were consistently higher in event precipitation than the snowpack. The order of ion elution from the snowpack was NO3 > SO4 > NH4 > H > Mg > Cl > Na > K. Hydrogen ion equivalents were highest in the snowpack and precipitation from urban samples. Mean hydrogen ion concentrations ranged from 11 to 22 eq L-1 in the snowpack compared with 18 to 41 eq L-1 in event precipitation.

建立了超高效液相色谱串联三重四极杆质谱(UPLC-MS/MS)同时检测叶菜类蔬菜中磺胺类、喹诺酮类、大环内酯类13种抗生素的分析方法.优化蔬菜基质中抗生素的提取液种类、净化方式、洗脱液种类,以及探讨环境变化和实验条件对实验结果的影响后,确定最优方案为称取500 mg的蔬菜样品,加入20 mL甲醇-Mcllvaine-Na_2EDTA溶液,超声和离心提取3次后,旋转蒸发至20 mL过HLB固相萃取柱.以6 m L甲醇洗脱,收集洗脱液,氮吹近干,用乙腈∶水(体积比2∶8)混合溶液复溶,离心、过滤后采用UPLC-MS/MS进行检测.流动相A相为1‰的甲酸水溶液,B相为乙腈,梯度洗脱.结果显示,小白菜在300ng·g~(-1)加标时,13种抗生素的加标回收率为38. 05%～96. 97%,150 ng·g~(-1)时,加标回收率为34. 52%～111. 10%,50 ng·g~(-1)时,加标回收率为41. 75%～107. 13%,相对偏差RSD值均小于8. 68%.检出限为0. 4～1 ng·g~(-1)、定量限为1. 5～3 ng·g~(-1),在不同种类的叶菜上也表现出较好的提取和回收效率,具有较好的分析应用效果.实际的样品检测发现,4种叶菜不同程度地检测出了抗生素的残留.总的含量范围(以干重计)为1. 59～32. 01 ng·g~(-1).小白菜所含抗生素含量最高,其次为白菜、生菜和芫荽.磺胺二甲基嘧啶为叶菜中含量最高的抗生素种类.各抗生素检测出的含量虽很低,但仍不能忽略长期食用带来的潜在健康风险.

采用稳定同位素分析技术和气相色谱-高分辨质谱联用技术,测定了洞庭湖6种鱼组织的稳定氮同位素丰度值（δ¹⁵N值）和多氯联苯（PCBs）的含量,研究了鱼组织中PCBs分布特征及其与营养级的相关性.结果表明,∑PCBs₁₁₅的浓度范围为0.04~9.77ng/g湿重,在鲤鱼性腺组织中最高.毒性当量为：0.0003~2.39pg/g湿重,在鳡鱼脂肪组织中最高.洞庭湖鱼中PCBs的含量处于较低水平.PCB28,52,95,99,101,105,110,118,138,153,155和209在所有组织中检出.Co-PCBs,Ind-PCBs和PCB209具有组织分布特异性.不同计量方式下,鱼组织中PCBs与δ¹⁵N值具有相关性的同类物不同.     

叶菜对Cd的富集特征及敏感性分布

为了解不同土壤中不同品种叶菜对Cd的吸收富集特征及敏感性分布规律,通过盆栽试验研究了10种叶菜(油菜、空心菜、茼蒿、苋菜、菠菜、油麦菜、芹菜、生菜、韭菜、小白菜)在江西红壤和天津潮土中,对不同处理Cd浓度[空白,0 mg/kg,CK;低浓度,0.3 mg/kg,C1;高浓度,0.6 mg/kg,C2]下对Cd的富集,并对Cd的富集系数进行了敏感性排序.结果表明:高浓度Cd会抑制叶菜生长,株高和鲜质量显著变化;低浓度Cd处理对叶菜的生长具有“刺激作用”,大部分叶菜株高显著上升. w(Cd)为0.3 mg/kg时,在天津潮土中,油菜对Cd的富集系数最高为0.336,茼蒿的富集系数最低为0.014,芹菜的富集系数最低为0.022,得出油菜对不同浓度的Cd最敏感,芹菜和茼蒿较不敏感.在江西红壤中,苋菜对Cd的富集系数最高为1.165,芹菜的富集系数最低为0.103,得出苋菜和油菜对不同浓度的Cd较敏感,芹菜较不敏感.因此,可在天津潮土中种植茼蒿和芹菜,在江西红壤中种植芹菜,将茼蒿和芹菜作为不易吸收较高浓度Cd的叶菜品种.      

Genotypic variations in the accumulation of Cd exhibited by different vegetables

It is an important approach to use the Cd-contaminated soils properly by growing low accumulator or excluder plants for Cd to produce safe foods. To find the suitable vegetable species for growing in Cd-contaminated soils, in the present study the variations in the Cd accumulation for twenty eight vegetable species and several cultivars of five common vegetables (cowpea, kidney pea, bitter gourd, cucumber and squash) were investigated in two soil Cd levels (1 and 2 mg/kg Cd). Experimental results showed that highly significant differences in Cd concentration were evident among 28 vegetables. For example, spinach Cd concentrations were 110-fold and 175-fold higher than that of sweet pea under the 1 and 2 mg/kg Cd exposures, respectively. For Cd accumulation, the order of vegetable species was: leafy vegetables solanaceous vegetables kale vegetables root vegetables allimus melon vegetables legumes. Distinctive differences were also identified when comparing different cultivars of the five common vegetables with an average range of 0.003–0.094 mg/kg Cd. Our results indicated that a large genotypic variation existed among vegetable species or cultivars when subjected to Cd exposure. Therefore, it is important and feasible to elect/breed vegetable species/cultivars with low accumulation of Cd, especially in mildly Cd-contaminated soils.     

铅在五指山猪组织器官中的分布与积累研究

研究了铅在五指山猪（WZSP）组织器官中的分布与累积,及饲料铅含量与组织器官中铅含量的关系.将20头五指山猪随机分为5组,分别饲喂含铅量为0.046 mg·kg-1（Ⅰ组）、6.790 mg·kg-1（Ⅱ组）、17.370 mg·kg-1（Ⅲ组）、53.600 mg·kg-1（Ⅳ组）、154.000 mg·kg-1（Ⅴ组）的饲料,持续喂养100d.屠宰后取心脏、肝脏、肾脏、肺、胃、小肠、大肠、猪耳、猪舌、猪尾、里脊肉、肋排肉、股骨骨质、股骨骨髓、肋骨和猪毛,测定其中的铅含量.结果表明, 肝脏、肾脏、股骨骨质、股骨骨髓、肋骨、猪毛等组织器官的铅含量随攻毒剂量的提高而明显上升,且与饲料中的铅含量呈正相关;当饲喂铅含量低于国家标准（5mg·kg-1）时,这些组织器官内的铅含量仍有可能超标.心脏、肺、胃、大肠、里脊肉、猪舌、猪尾中的铅含量与饲料中的铅含量没有相关性,即使饲喂铅含量超过国家标准30倍以上的饲料（铅含量154.000mg·kg-1）,这些组织器官的铅含量仍低于国家限量标准.骨组织、肝脏、肾脏对铅有着较强的富集能力,而猪肉、猪耳、猪舌、猪尾、猪心、猪肺等其它组织器官中的铅累积量低于限量标准.本研究旨在为制定猪肉制品,特别是可食用组织器官的铅限量标准提供理论依据,同时,为禽畜可食用组织器官的重金属风险评估提供参考.
