Abstract: A gas chromatography-negative chemical ionization-mass spectrometry (GC-NCI-MS) method was established to simultaneously determine 9 organophosphorus pesticide residues in fruits and vegetables. Samples were extracted with ethyl acetate and cleaned up on a Florisil column before GC-NCI-MS analysis in a selective ion-monitoring (SIM) mode. The internal standard used was ethion. The presented method was rapid, simple, sensitive and selective. The detection limits of this method for 9 organophosphorus pesticides were in the range of 0.12-1.21  μg/kg. The average recovery rates of 9 organophosphorus pesticides varied from 76.5% to 112% with a relative standard deviation of 1.45%-11.0%.

Key words: gas chromatography-negative chemical ionization-mass spectrometry (GC-NCI-MS), organophosphorus pesticides, pesticide residues, fruits, vegetables
