Abstract
Cartap in air, which was collected on the CarbotrapTMsorbent and introduced into GC/MS by using the TCT instrument, was determined as nereistoxin. The analytical method for thiophanate-methyl in air was composed of sampling with the ascorbic acid-impregnated paper and high-performance liquid chromatography with UV detection. The detection limit of nereistoxin was 0.3ng/m3for 30L of air sampled, and that of thiophanate-methyl was 22ng/m3for sum of 5 samples, where 200L of air was collected in each. Both compounds were not detected in any samples.
