Green method to determine triazine pesticides in water using Rotating Disk Sorptive Extraction (RDSE).

The following work presents the development of the solid phase extraction technique with rotary disk (RDSE) in which the analysis for seven triazines in surface waters was first implemented. All the variables involved in extraction have been studied and optimized using a solid phase of octadecyl (C18) deposited on surface of the disk. Triazines were analyzed quantitatively by gas chromatography with simple quadruple mass detector, recoveries obtained for seven triazines were between 80% and 120%, accuracy expressed as RSD was between 3.21% and 6.34%, and detection limit of the method was between 0.020-0.056 μgL(-1) according to each analyte, which indicates a good reproducibility and precision of the method. Finally, the method was applied to analyze the objective compounds in water samples obtained in the Bolo River (Palmira-Colombia), in which triazines were not detected.
