Abstract
Chlorpyrifos is widely used organophosphate insecticide, acaricide and miticide used primarily to control foliage
and soil-borne insect pests on a variety of food and feed crops. According to US EPA, this pesticide is used in
around 800 products for domestic use, industry, and agriculture. The study deals with screening and identification
of chlorpyrifos in groundwater situated under agriculture area using liquid-liquid extraction with dichloromethane
Followed by GC–MS. For lower detection limits the samples were concentrated for 10 000 times. Due to the multiple
steps of sample extraction, an internal standard calibration with thriphenylphosphate was used in method
validation. The oven temperature ramped from 60 ºC for 2 min up to 150 ºC with an increment of 25 ºC for 0 min,
ramped to 200 ºC with an increment of 3 ºC for 0 min, ramped to 280 ºC with an increment of 20 ºC for 10 min.
The type of injection was pulsed splitless using pressure of 50 psi. Method validation showed the relative standard
deviation of 6.34, reproducibility of 130%, bias 0.08. The LOD of the instrument was 0,33 µg/L. Groundwater samples
were collected from 78 existing boreholes. Chlorpyrifos was found in a concentration of 0.133 µg/L ± 0.00929 in
one sample. The research showed that chlorpyrifos has very low leaching capabilities but heavy rainfall may carry
it into the groundwater aquifers.
