TI  - Evaluation of Quechers Sample Preparation and GC Mass Spectrometry Method for the 
      Determination of 15 Pesticide Residues in Tomatoes Used in Salad Production 
      Plants.
PG  - 230-8
AB  - BACKGROUND: The present study was the first attempt for determination and 
      measurement of pesticide residues in tomatoes used in salad production plants in 
      Isfahan, central Iran. METHODS: A multiresidue method based on modified QuEChERS 
      (quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged and safe) sample preparation, followed by 
      Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) was developed and validated for the 
      determination of 15 pesticides (permethrin, primicarb, dichlorvos, diazinone, 
      fenpropathrin, carbaryl, chlorpyrifos, malathion, chlortalonil, brompropilate, 
      propargit, tetradifone, phosalone, iprodion and endosulfane) from different 
      classes. The recovery yields ranged from 83.84 to 119.73%and the relative 
      standard deviation (RSD) was below 20.54%. The limits of detection (LODs) were 
      between 1.63to 10.5 mg/kg and the limits of quantifications (LOQs) were between 
      5.43to35 mg/kg. The method has been successfully applied to the analysis of 22 
      tomato samples obtained from salad production plants in Isfahan in Sep to Dec 
      2014. RESULTS: An amount of 31.81% of samples showed contamination above maximum 
      residue levels (MRLs) with pesticides. In addition, 13.6% of samples had 
      contamination with diazinone and 18.18% of samples with chlorpyrifos. CONCLUSION: 
      A full consideration is essential for tomatoes used in salad and food 
      productions. It suggests a need for revision of the current trend of supervision 
      for tomatoes and other vegetables presented in wholesale markets. In all, the 
      study confirms that pesticide residue determination in food products, especially 
      in raw fruits and vegetables, is a very demanding task in public health safety 
      and trade.
