Abstract
Levels of 13 pesticides in 40 honey samples form Poland are reported. A rapid and sensitive method was developed for the LC-ESI-MS/MS determination of multi-class pesticide residues in honey samples. Liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) on a diatomaceous earth support (requiring the use of small amounts of organic solvent), followed by chromatographic separation on a C18 column and gradient elution were employed. The method quantifies over a dynamic linear range from respective MQLs (0.06-1.3 ng/g) to 5 ng/g. Matrix effects were evaluated by comparing the slopes of matrix-matched and solvent-based calibration curves. The mean recoveries obtained for three fortification levels (0.5, 1.0 and 4.0 ng/g) were 63-117% for most compounds, with an expanded uncertainty of <10%. The results for real honey samples collected from five regions of Poland (Pomerania, Wielkopolska, Lublin Region, Lower and Upper Silesia), showed that residue concentrations were < 5 ng/g and did not pose a threat to human health.
