Summary of Test Method4.1 This is a performance based method, and modificationsare allowed to improve performance.4.2 For carbamate analysis, samples are shipped to the labacidified between 0C and 6C and analyzed within 14 days ofcollection. In the lab, the samples are spiked

19、with surrogates,filtered using a syringe driven filter unit, and analyzed directlyby LC/MS/MS.4.3 The carbamates, methomyl-13C2,15N (surrogate) andcarbofuran-13C6(surrogate) are identified by retention time andtwo SRM transitions. The target analytes and surrogate arequantitated using the primary SR

20、M transitions utilizing anexternal calibration. The final report issued for each samplelists the concentration of carbamates and the surrogate recov-eries.5.

21、cago Regional Laboratory (CRL).5.2 The N-methyl carbamate (NMC) pesticides: aldicarb,carbofuran, methomyl, oxamyl, and thiofanox have been iden-tified by EPAas working through a common mechanism. Theseaffect the nervous system by reducing the ability of enzymes.Enzyme inhibition was the primary toxi

22、cological effect ofregulatory concern to EPA in assessing the NMCs food,drinking water, and residential risks. In most of the country,NMC residues in drinking water sources are at levels that arenot likely to contribute substantially to the multi-pathwaycumulative exposure. Shallow private wells ext

23、ending throughhighly permeable soils into shallow, acidic ground waterrepresent what the EPA believes to be the most vulnerabledrinking water. Aldicarb sulfone and aldicarb sulfoxide arebreakdown products of aldicarb and should also be monitoreddue to their toxicological effects.45.3 This method has

24、 been investigated for use with reagent,surface, and drinking water for the selected carbamates:aldicarb, aldicarb sulfone, aldicarb sulfoxide, carbofuran,methomyl, oxamyl and thiofanox.6. Interferences6.1 Method interferences may be caused by contaminants insolvents, reagents, glassware, and other

25、apparatus producingdiscrete artifacts or elevated baselines. All of these materialsare demonstrated to be free from interferences by analyzinglaboratory reagent blanks under the same conditions assamples.6.2 All glassware is washed in hot water with detergent andrinsed in hot water followed by disti

26、lled water. The glasswareis then dried and heated in an oven at 250C for 15 to 30minutes. All glassware is subsequently cleaned with acetonefollowed by methanol.6.3 All reagents and solvents should be pesticide residuepurity or higher to minimize interference problems.6.4 Matrix interferences may be

27、 caused by contaminants inthe sample. The extent of matrix interferences can varyconsiderably from sample source depending on variations ofthe sample matrix.7.

Sampling10.1 Sampling and PreservationGrab samples should becollected in $25 mL pre-cleaned amber glass bottles withTeflont lined caps demonstrated to be free of interferences.Allsamples are acidified with glacial acetic acid to pH #3.8 uponcollection. A few drops or less of glacial ace

41、tic acid is requiredper 40 mL water sample collected. Chlorinated drinking watersamples are also dechlorinated with ascorbic acid; 10 mg ofascorbic acid is added to each 40 mL volume of water prior tocollection. Drinking water samples must be dechlorinated uponcollection. Aldicarb oxidizes when resi

42、dual chlorine is presentin the sample. This test method is based on a 25 mL samplesize per analysis. If different sample sizes are used, spikingsolution amounts and preservatives will need to be modified.Conventional sampling practices should be followed. Refer toGuide D3856 and Practices D3694. Sto

43、re samples between 0Cand 6C from the time of collection until analysis. Analyze thesample within 14 days of collection.NOTE 2Less sample volume is acceptable, but the spike amounts andsample preservatives must be adjusted accordingly.10.1.1 EPA Method 531.2 demonstrated that carbamates aremore stabl

44、e under acidic conditions. Potassium dihydrogencitrate buffer is used in Method 531.2 to bring the pH to 3.8,but this buffer is incompatible with LC/MS/MS. Therefore, thepH adjustment is accomplished with acetic acid in this testmethod. EPA Method 531.2 demonstrated that carbamatesunder acidic condi

45、tions are stable for at least 28 days. EPAMethod 531 demonstrated that oxamyl and methomyl arestable for at least 70 days at pH 3 60.2. Holding time isdependent upon your individual matrix and will vary. PracticeD4841 may be used to conduct a holding time study on yourindividual matrix.11. Preparati

46、on of LC/MS/MS11.1 LC Chromatograph Operating Conditions:511.1.1 Injection volumes of all calibration standards andsamples are made at 50 L volume using a full loop injection.If a 50 L volume loop is installed in the LC, a “full loop”mode is the preferred technique when performing fast, quali-tative

47、 analyses. This mode should be used whenever accuracyand precision are the primary concerns. The first sampleanalyzed after the calibration curve is a blank to ensure there isno carry-over.
