Analysis of Fumigants in Cereals and Dried Fruits : Part I via GC-MS / MS

A quick multi-method for fumigants (QuMFu) allowing their simultaneous analysis in cereals and dried fruits was developed. The method involves a simple extraction step with n-hexane followed by centrifugation and GCMS/MS analysis. The following fumigants were investigated in the study:  1,2-Dibromo-3-chloropropane  Naphthalene  1,3-Dichloropropene  p-Nitrochlorobenzene  Azobenzene  p-Dichlorobenzene  Carbon tetrachloride  1,1,2,2-Tetrachloroethane  Chloropicrin  Tetrachloroethylene  Ethylene chlorobromide  Trichloroethylene  Ethylene dibromide (1,2dibromoethane)
