Popis This study presents a novel sample preparation method for the determination of both specific and non-specific pesticide metabolites in human urine samples. The method combines a deconjugation step with QuEChERS-based method and solid-phase extraction. In total, 15 pesticide metabolites (diethyl phosphate; diethyl thiophosphate; dimethyl phosphate; diethyl thiophosphate; 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid; 3-phenoxybenzoic acid; 4-fluoro-3-phenoxybenzoic acid; coumaphos; diethyl dithiophosphate; malathion dicarboxylic acid; p-nitrophenol; cis/trans-3-(2,2-dichlorovinyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropane carboxylic acid; 3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridinol; N,N-diethyl-3-methylbenzamid and 2-isopropyl-4-methyl-6-hydroxypyrimidine) were separated using liquid chromatography coupled to a mass spectrometer and isotope dilution method for quantitation. The method was validated using recovery tests with recoveries generally ranging from 80 to 120%. Additionally, 20 urine samples collected from South African children were analysed using the presented method. The median levels of pesticide metabolites found in the urine samples ranged from not detected (N,N-diethyl-3-methylbenzamid) to 22.36 µg/g creatinine (dimethyl phosphate). The novel method developed in this study is sensitive, selective, robust and reproducible while also conserving the amount of sample, chemicals, material and time required. Due to the low limits of detection obtained for individual pesticide metabolites, the method is capable of quantifying trace levels of pesticide metabolites in urine, which thus makes it an ideal tool for biomonitoring studies.
