Determination of Some Pesticides Harmful To Environment and Human Health in Bogazköy(Turkey) Dam Water by LC-MS/MS

Pesticides are the most dangerous organic pollutants for human and environmental health. These are substances that are harmful to health, the use of which has increased in recent years, to kill pests in agricultural production. The areas of use of pesticides, apart from agricultural activities, are in the fight against mosquitoes, which cause malaria, which creates a significant health problem for human health, in landscape, construction industry, timber protection, forestry, control of aquatic organisms, industrial insect control, food storage, transportation and community hygiene there are multiple uses such as. Excessive intake of the body leads to many diseases, cancer formation, even death. This study, it was aimed to analyze of Atrazin, Chlorfenvinfos, Chlorpyrifos, Diuron, Isoproturon and Simazin pesticides simultaneously with LC-MS/MS, in Boğazköy Dam in Bursa(Turkey) and the branches that feed the dam in Bursa İnegöl district. The samples were taken from 12 locations and were given to LC-MS / MS device by direct injection. Atrazin, Chlorfenvinfos, Chlorpyrifos, Diuron, Isoproturon and Simazin pesticides, which are among the priority substances for surface water resources, were analyzed in the Surface Water Quality Regulation in the dam waters. Environmental quality standards referred to in this regulation are taken as reference points for calibration. For the accuracy of the method, validation studies such as LOD, LOQ, linearity and recovery were performed. As a result, it has been determined that the pesticide derivatives analyzed in the waters feeding Boğazköy Dam and the dam doesn't exceed the limit values of the Environmental Quality Standards, pose no risk in irrigation of agricultural areas and in surface waters.
