Abstract
The development of a novel molecularly imprinted solid-phase extraction (MISPE) method for simultaneous preconcentration of imazapyr (IMP), imazapic (IMZ) and imazethapyr (IMT) with determination by HPLC-PAD (High performance liquid chromatography - photodiode-array detector) is proposed. The polymer synthesis was performed using imazethapyr as template molecule and 1-vinylimidazole as functional monomer. The method is based on preconcentration of 100.0 mL of sample through 200.0 mg of molecularly imprinted poly(vinylimidazole-TRIM) (MIP-1VN) at pH 4.0, followed by elution with 2.0 mL of MeOH:CH2Cl2:HAc (34:62:4, v/v). The range of analytical curve (0.29-200.0, 0.21-200.0 and 0.15-200.0 µg L-1), limits of detection (0.09, 0.06 and 0.04 µg L-1) and preconcentration factors (92, 96 and 98) determined for the herbicides, IMP, IMZ and IMT, respectively, were greatly superior when compared with those ones obtained with commercial adsorbents. The analytical method was successfully applied to spiked surface water and rice samples with good results of recovery values (86-107%).

Abstract
INTRODUCTION imazamox is a herbicide used in many legominous and cereal crops. There are few methods in the literature for determination of imazamox and its metabolites in plants because of the lack of commercial standards or owing to expensive and/or complex synthesis. OBJECTIVE To develop a method based on liquid chromatography and ultraviolet absorption detection for simultaneous determination of imazamox and its metabolites in plants. METHODS Sample preparation was based on ultrasound-assisted extraction (70 W power and duty cycle of 0.7 s/s for 10 min) with subsequent filtration of the extracts and clean-up and concentration prior to chromatographic separation and detection at 240 nm. The chromatographic analysis was completed in 30 min using a Luna® HILIC column. Identification and confirmatory analysis of the presence of imazamox and its metabolites in extracts from treated plants was performed by LC-TOF/MS in high resolution mode for precursor ions. The metabolites were quantified using a surrogate approach based on an imazamox standard. The method was validated by analysing wheat samples treated with 200 g per hectare of active ingredient imazamox. RESULTS The linear dynamic range of the calibration curve was within 0.27-600 µg/mL, with a correlation coefficient of 0.998 and precision--studied at 0.1 and 2 µg/mL--of 2.9% and 5.0% for repeatability, and 4.7% and 6.9% for reproducibility, respectively. CONCLUSION The analytical characteristics of the method make it recommendable for evaluating the metabolism of imazamox in plants.

Abstract
An analytical method for the determination imazaquin residues in soybeans was developed. The developed liquid/liquid partition and strong anion exchange solid-phase extraction procedures provide the effective cleanup, removing the greatest number of sample matrix interferences. By optimizing mobile-phase pH water/acetonitrile conditions with phosphoric acid, using a C-18 reverse-phase chromatographic column and employing ultraviolet detection, excellent peak resolution was achieved. The combined cleanup and chromatographic method steps reported herein were sensitive and reliable for determining the imazaquin residues in soybean samples. This method is characterized by recovery >88.4%, precision <6.7% CV, and sensitivity of 0.005 ppm, in agreement with directives for method validation in residue analysis. Imazaquin residues in soybeans were further confirmed by high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). The proposed method was successfully applied to the analysis of imazaquin residues in soybean samples grown in an experimental field after treatments of imazaquin formulation.

Abstract
Microwave assistance is proposed for the first time in order to accelerate the extraction of biophenols from olive leaves. Under optimal working conditions, obtained using a multivariate methodology, complete extraction of the target analytes was achieved in 8 min. The extracts required no clean-up nor concentration prior to injection into a chromatograph-photodiode array detector assembly for individual separation-quantification. The optimal extractant (an 80:20 ethanol-water mixture) was also used in the development of a stirring-based extraction method which required around 24 h for complete extraction of the target compounds. These mixtures can be used as replacements for toxic extractants, with a view to exploiting olive leaves in order to obtain biophenols for human use.

Abstract
Nonylphenol polyethoxylates (NPnEOs) constitute a significant portion of the non-ionic surfactant market. The presence of nonylphenol (NP) in the aquatic environment is often a product of the microbial breakdown of NPEOs through discharge of industrial effluents and sewage treatment plants. The aim of this work is to develop the microwave-assisted extraction for the determination of the NP and NPEO in sewage sludge and compare this method with more traditional methods such as Soxhlet extraction and sonication. The method efficiency was evaluated as to the linearity, repeatability, accuracy, and sensitivity. Recoveries were 61.4% for NPEO and 91.4% for NP with repeatability less than 5%. The detection limit was 1.82 microg/g for NPEO and 2.86 microg/g for NP. The developed method was applied on sewage sludge samples from the sewage treatment plants of three Greek cities: Athens, Patras and Heraklion and were ranged 12.8-233.5 mg/kg for NPEO and 3.6-93 mg/kg for NP.

Abstract
In this study, microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) followed by gas chromatography (GC)-mass spectrometry (MS) analysis has been successfully developed for the simultaneous extraction and determination of contrasting endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) including 17beta-estradiol, estrone, 17(alpha-ethynylestradiol, 16alpha-hydroxyestrone, 4-nonylphenol, 4-tert-octylphenol and bisphenol A in river sediments. For MAE, the effects of various parameters on the extraction efficiency were investigated. It is shown that the most efficient extraction (recovery > 74%) of the target compounds was achieved by using methanol as the solvent, an extraction temperature of 110 degrees C and 15 min of holding time. The cleanup of extracts was carried out by passage through a non-deactivated silica gel column, and a satisfactory elution efficiency of all compounds was achieved using a solvent mixture of ethyl acetate-hexane (4:6, v/v). The spiking experiments show that the mean recovery of the target compounds exceeded 61% at a spiking level of 5 ng/g dry mass, and 73% at 10, 40 and 100 ng/g dry mass with a good reproducibility. The method developed was applied to the determination of target EDCs in river sediments collected from rivers Uck and Ouse, UK, and results revealed the presence of the chosen compounds at low ng/g level.

Abstract
Herbicides are chemical substances that are applied to agricultural soils, gardens, lawns, or plants to destroy or to prevent the growth of undesirable vegetation. The herbicides included in this review are generally synthetic organic compounds that are ingredients in commercial herbicide products that were designated active during late 2002 in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's database of registered and canceled pesticide products. The compounds are organized into 21 categories according to their general chemical structures or a common structural group. The herbicides in each category are discussed in terms of their structures, their database electron ionization mass spectra, and their amenability to separation and measurement with gas chromatography, reversed-phase liquid chromatography, and capillary electrophoresis combined with mass spectrometry. Ionization techniques that are considered here are mainly electron ionization, electrospray, and atmospheric pressure chemical ionization. Sixty-six references are provided to herbicide reviews, and to the recent herbicide analytical chemistry and mass spectrometry research literature.

Abstract
Orthogonal array design (OAD) was applied for the first time to optimize microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) and supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) conditions for the analysis of four carbamates (propoxur, propham, methiocarb, chlorpropham) from soil. The theory and methodology of a new OA16 (4(4)) matrix derived from a OA16 (2(15)) matrix were developed during the MAE optimization. An analysis of variance technique was employed as the data analysis strategy in this study. Determinations of analytes were completed using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with UV detection. Four carbamates were successfully extracted from soil with recoveries ranging from 85 to 105% with good reproducibility (approximately 4.9% RSD) under the optimum MAE conditions: 30 ml methanol, 80 degrees C extraction temperature, and 6-min microwave heating. An OA8 (2(7)) matrix was employed for the SFE optimization. The average recoveries and RSD of the analytes from spiked soil by SFE were 92 and 5.5%, respectively except for propham (66.3+/-7.9%), under the following conditions: heating for 30 min at 60 degrees C under supercritical CO2 at 300 kg/cm2 modified with 10% (v/v) methanol. The composition of the supercritical fluid was demonstrated to be a crucial factor in the extraction. The addition of a small volume (10%) of methanol to CO2 greatly enhanced the recoveries of carbamates. A comparison of MAE with SFE was also conducted. The results indicated that >85% average recoveries were obtained by both optimized extraction techniques, and slightly higher recoveries of three carbamates (propoxur, propham and methiocarb) were achieved using MAE. SFE showed slightly higher recovery for chlorpropham (93 vs. 87% for MAE). The effects of time-aged soil on the extraction of analytes were examined and the results obtained by both methods were also compared.

Abstract
A method for determining triazine herbicides in soil samples that combines microwave-assisted extraction with solid-phase microextraction is described. Water containing 1% methanol was employed as extractant. The parameters of solid-phase microextraction and microwave-assisted extraction were investigated. In solid-phase microextraction, particular attention was paid to the negative effect of salt on fiber stability. Our experiments showed that this effect could be effectively reduced by simply washing the fiber with deionized water. The selected triazines could be efficiently extracted by the aqueous extractant at 105 degrees C for 3 min, with 80% output of maximum power (1,200 W). The extraction procedure provided good precision (<7%) and recoveries (76.1-87.2%). The limits of detection were in the range 2-4 microg/kg. Compared with conventional liquid extraction, microwave-assisted extraction-solid-phase microextraction was more efficient, accurate and faster, and used a very small amount of organic solvent (only 250 microL methanol). The extraction of aged spiked soil samples indicated that, although the recoveries were lower than those of freshly spiked samples, they were nevertheless satisfactory for the quantitative analysis of real-world samples.

Abstract
A simple and rapid method based on microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) coupled to gas chromatographic analysis was developed for the analysis of triazine (atrazine, cyanazine, metribuzine, simazine and deethylatrazine, and deisopropylatrazine) and chloroacetanilide (acetochlor, alachlor, and metolachlor) herbicide residues in soils. Soil samples are processed by MAE for 5 min at 80 degrees C in the presence of acetonitrile (20 mL/sample). Mean recovery values of most solutes are >80% in the 10 to 500 microg/kg fortification range with respective RSDs (relative standard deviations) < 20%. The limits of quantification (LOQ) and limits of detection (LOD) are 10 and 1 to 5 microg/kg, respectively. The method was validated with two types of soils containing 1.5 and 3.0% organic matter content, respectively; no statistically significant differences were found between solute recovery values from the two types of soils. The solute mean recovery values from freshly spiked (24 h aging) and spiked samples stored refrigerated for one week before processed were also not statistically different. Residue levels determined in field weathered soils were higher when soils were processed by MAE than with a comparison method based on flask-shaking of soil suspensions overnight. Extracts were analyzed by a gas chromatographic system equipped either with a thermionic (GC-NPD) or a mass spectrometric detector (GC-MS).

Abstract
A new method based on the application of microwave radiation to the extraction of adipate plasticizers from poly(vinyl chloride) PVC plastics is described. The experimental conditions for microwave-assisted extraction (i.e. extracting solvent, temperature, time and microwave power) were evaluated in terms of recovery. The optimisation was carried out with pastes of PVC plastified with di-2-ethylhexyl adipate, and extracts were measured by gas chromatography with flame ionization detection. Six different adipate plasticizers were studied, and microwave-assisted extraction was compared with supercritical fluid extraction for the extraction of adipates and phthalates from PVC matrices. It has been observed that the microwave-assisted extraction parameters evaluated are tightly interconnected. It has been shown that the efficiency of microwave-assisted extraction depends on the kind of solvent, the temperature achieved and the heating time. Moreover, the final temperature reached depends on the microwave power, the number of vessels and the irradiation time. On the other hand, microwave-assisted extraction provides higher recovery values than supercritical fluid extraction for both phthalate and adipate plasticizers.

Abstract
A multiresidue method developed for the analysis of metribuzin and its major conversion products, deaminometribuzin (DA), diketometribuzin (DK) and deaminodiketometribuzin (DADK), in soils is presented. The method is based on microwave-assisted water extraction (MAWE) of soils using 10 mM phosphate buffer, pH 7 as extractant and analysis of aqueous extracts by HPLC-diode array detection. MAWE operational parameters were optimized with respect to extraction efficiency of the target compounds from soils with 1.5 and 3.5% organic matter content. Recoveries of all solutes above 80% were obtained from soils with 1.5% organic matter content; respective LOD and LOQ levels were determined at 5 and 10 micrograms/kg. In soils with organic matter content 3.5%, recoveries of all solutes were lower (< 70%) and the respective LOD and LOQ values were determined at 10 and 50 micrograms/kg. However, recoveries of fresh and aged residues, the latter weathered under cold storage conditions, were not statistically different for both types of soils.

Abstract
White and black "niebe" beans [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp] from Senegal were treated with fenitrothion (O,O-dimethyl O-4-nitro-m-tolyl phosphorothioate), and the residues were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and electron capture gas chromatography (EC-GC). Fenitrothion residues from the beans were extracted by Soxhlet extraction (SE) and microwave-assisted extraction (MAE). A column cleanup procedure was used to remove the coextractives in the extract before HPLC and EC-GC analyses. The overall mean recoveries of fenitrothion residues in the 0.19-1.90 microg/kg fortification range determined from extracts obtained by SE and MAE were 88.4 and 89.8%, respectively, with respective relative standard deviations of <4%. The results show that MAE is a viable alternative to the commonly used SE for the determination of fenitrothion residues in beans.

Abstract
A simple and rapid method is presented for the analysis of residues of ethylenebis(dithiocarbamate) (maneb, zineb, and mancozeb) and N,N-dimethyldithiocarbamate (thiram and ziram) fungicides in dry tobacco leaves and peaches. Residues are extracted and hydrolyzed to CS(2) in a single step by use of microwave energy in a closed-vessel system while the evolved CS(2) trapped in a layer of iso-octane overlaying the reaction mixture is taken for gas chromatographic-flame photometric analysis. This combined extraction-hydrolysis step is carried out in 10 and 15 min for sets of 12 samples of tobacco and peach matrices, respectively. Total sample preparation time for GC analysis is 40 min. The limits of detection (LOD) are 0.005 mg/kg for thiram and ziram on peaches and 0.1 mg/kg for maneb, zineb, and mancozeb on tobacco. The respective LOD and limit of quantification (LOQ) levels in CS(2) equivalents are 0.003 and 0.006 mg/kg on peaches and 0.04 and 0.2 mg/kg on tobacco, respectively. Recoveries in the 0.01-60 mg/kg fortification range are 80-100% with respective relative standard deviations <20%. The method was used for the analysis of >3000 commercial tobacco samples including also different marketed cigarette brands.

Abstract
Microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) is a process of using microwave energy to heat solvents in contact with a sample in order to partition analytes from the sample matrix into the solvent. The ability to rapidly heat the sample solvent mixture is inherent to MAE and the main advantage of this technique. By using closed vessels the extraction can be performed at elevated temperatures accelerating the mass transfer of target compounds from the sample matrix. A typical extraction procedure takes 15-30 min and uses small solvent volumes in the range of 10-30 ml. These volumes are about 10 times smaller than volumes used by conventional extraction techniques. In addition, sample throughput is increased as several samples can be extracted simultaneously. In most cases recoveries of analytes and reproducibility are improved compared to conventional techniques, as shown in several applications. This review gives a brief theoretical background of microwave heating and the basic principles of using microwave energy for extraction. It also attempts to summarize all studies performed on closed-vessel MAE until now. The influences of parameters such as solvent choice, solvent volume, temperature, time and matrix characteristics (including water content) are discussed.

Abstract
The dimethyl derivatives of imazaquin, imazapyr, imazmethapyr, imazethapyr, 2-[4,5 dihydro-1, 4-dimethyl-4-(1-methylethyl)-5-oxo-1H-imidazol-2-yl]-5-methoxymethyl- 3-pyridine carboxylic acid, 2-[4,5-dihydro-1,4 -dimethyl-4-(1-methylethyl)-5-oxo-1H-imidazol-2-yl]-4-methyl benzoic acid, and 2-[4,5-dihydro-1,4-dimethyl-4-(1-methyl ethyl)-5-oxo-1H-imidazol-2-yl]-5-methyl benzoic acid were prepared and fully characterized. The availability of these derivatives has led to the development of efficient and multiresidue gas chromatographic methods for trace level analysis of imidazolinone herbicides in matrixes such as water, soybean, and soil.

Abstract
An automatic extraction, preconcentration and clean-up module for the extraction of phenolic compounds from soils was developed; the separation and quantitation of each phenol is accomplished by GC-MS. The sorption-desorption of thirteen phenols on soils containing variable amounts of organic carbon (0.05-3.4%) and clay minerals (2-43%) at pH 5.7-8.6 was investigated. For this purpose, uncontaminated soils were spiked with 5 or 20 microg of each phenol per g of soil; the soils were then stored at 4 degrees C for at least 3 months prior to analysis in order to simulate analyte-matrix interactions other than material losses and environmental degradation in actual contaminated soils. The organic carbon content in acid and alkaline soils affects the sorption of chlorophenols but not that of alkylphenols. On the other hand, alkylphenols are preferentially sorbed by neutral soils, the process being influenced by the clay mineral content. Based on the results, alkylphenols interact more strongly with agricultural soils than do chlorophenols; also, both types of compound are less strongly sorbed by loamy sand soils owing to their increased sand contents.

Abstract
Liquid chromatographic (LC) separations for pesticides and many other compounds make use of nonvolatile buffers in the mobile phase. The coupling of LC with mass spectrometry (MS) does not allow the use of nonvolatile buffers. Substitution with volatile buffers is possible, but changes in chromatographic retention and resolution can result even if pH is held constant. The postcolumn removal of nonvolatile buffers using a commercially available ion suppressor is evaluated for the analysis of carbamate pesticides. The suppressor efficiently removes phosphate anions from an LC mobile phase. Most compounds show an increased signal by factors of 2-7 after postcolumn phosphate removal. The suppressor has little effect on the chromatographic parameters of some compounds, while serious negative effects are noted for others. Some compounds will give poor results due to adsorption or retention by the suppressor. The results indicate that such a device may be useful for the LC-MS analysis of some pesticides using nonvolatile buffers.

Abstract
Research has shown that many chemicals form persistent and permanently bound residues in soils and sediments that play an important role in soil and sediment detoxification processes, long-term compound partitioning behaviour and compound bioavailability and toxicity in soil and sediment. This article reviews the methodological approaches that have been applied to determine the nature of bound residues in soil and sediment, the application of specific analytical techniques, the type of information they generate, and their relative advantages and disadvantages. It begins by defining bound residues and discussing soil-compound interactions. The application of model compound studies for elucidating specific binding interactions is reviewed along with long-term laboratory and field soil incubation experiments. The use of radiolabelled compounds, isotopically labelled compounds and combinations of both in these experiments are outlined by examples from the literature, along with sequential extraction schemes for releasing bound residues from soil, sediment and humic materials. The importance of spectroscopic methods, and particularly nuclear magnetic resonance techniques for characterising the structure of bound residues in soil and sedimentary humic substances is discussed and illustrated by examples from the literature on the subject. The process of bound residue formation is highly complex and requires further research to establish the mechanisms of bound residue formation and their subsequent environmental and toxicological fate. Much of the uncertainty regarding the elucidation of bound residue formation arises from our poor understanding of the structure of soil and sedimentary organic matter. Significant advances in our understanding of the formation and fate of bound residues will be made when we develop a deeper insight into the complex and heterogeneous structure of soil and sedimentary organic matter.

Abstract
Low-cost, straightforward methods for the extraction of microcystins and nodularins from cyanobacterial cells were developed using a microwave oven and boiling waterbath. The use of organic solvents, such as methanol, which can interfere with sensitive analytical procedures, e.g. immunoassays, can thus be avoided. Analysis by protein phosphatase inhibition assay and high performance liquid chromatography indicated that purified microcystin-LR was unaffected by the microwave oven and boiling waterbath treatments. Four microcystins of differing hydrophobicities were successfully extracted from Microcystis PCC 7813 by both treatments at yields equivalent to those obtained by longer protocols using methanol. Assessment of the microwave oven and boiling waterbath extraction methods with laboratory strains and environmental samples of cyanobacteria showed good correlation with results from lyophilisation and methanol extraction, when extracts were analysed by high performance liquid chromatography with diode array detection (R(2)>/=0.92). The microwave and boiling waterbath extraction methods also sterilised the environmental bloom samples, as evidenced by the abolition of heterotrophic bacterial growth.

Abstract
This paper describes the simultaneous quantification of the imidazolinone herbicides (IMIs) imazapyr, m-imazamethabenz, p-imazamethabenz, m,p-imazamethabenz-methyl, imazethapyr, and imazaquin in two types of samples. (a) Groundwater, lake water, and river water samples were enriched by off-line solid-phase extraction with a Carbograph-1 cartridge and analyzed by reversed-phase liquid chromatography using a UV detector (lambda = 240 nm). The overall recoveries of IMIs extracted from 1 L of groundwater (fortified with 500-100 ng/L), 0.5 L of lake water (fortified with 500-100 ng/L), and 0.5 L of river water (fortified with 1000-200 ng/L) samples were not lower than 89%. The mean relative standard deviation (RSD) was 5.1% (ranging from 4.1% to 6.8%) in natural water. The detection limits were 30-39 ng/L in groundwater, 43-51 ng/L in lake water, and 55-67 ng/L in river water. The method involves confirmatory analysis by LC/ES-MS in full-scan mode. The dependence of the ion signal intensities on proton concentration in the mobile phase was investigated with a view to optimizing the sensitivity of the ES-MS detector. When LC/ES-MS was used, the limit of detection, calculated from extracted-ion current profiles (EICPs), was 4-7 ng/L for ground-water and 9-13 ng/L for river water. (b) Soil sample analysis utilized combined soil column extraction (SCE) and off-line solid phase extraction (SPE) for sample preparation, analyzing with LC/ES-MS under selected ion monitoring (SIM). Several different extractants were evaluated for the purpose of SCE optimization. The system that best optimizes the extractability IMIs from the soil was found to be the mixture CH3OH/(NH4)2CO3 (0.1 M, 50:50 v/v). The effect of IMI concentration in the matrix on recovery was evaluated. The total recovery of each IMI from soil at each of the two levels investigated ranged from 87% to 95%. Under three ion SIM conditions, the limit of detection (S/N = 3) was 0.1-0.05 ng/g in soil samples.
