GC-MS/MS Analysis of Pesticides in Drinking Water

Introduction

According to Japan’s list of drinking water quality control substances, pesticides are included as supplemental items subject to analysis. Designed to complement the standards, the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare encourages water utilities to monitor pesticide levels and achieve specified targets. Among the 102 listed pesticides, 84 are simultaneously analyzed using solid-phase extraction and GCMS. In this datasheet, those pesticides were analyzed using GCMS/MS and Multiple Reaction Monitoring (MRM) mode.
