In this study, an integrated QuEChERS method was developed for the rapid determination of 22 per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in milk by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The extraction and purification processes were combined into one step with this method. Meanwhile, the solid-liquid separation was carried out by magnetic suction (FeO-SiO) instead of the centrifugal process. The primary experimental parameters were optimized, including the type of extraction solvent, the amounts of magnetic nanomaterials (FeO-SiO), and the purification materials (ZrO and C). The developed method exhibits high precision (RSDs < 9.9%), low limits of detection (0.004-0.079 μg/kg) and limits of quantitation (0.01-0.26 μg/kg), and acceptable recovery (71.7-116%) under optimized conditions. The developed integrated QuEChERS method had clear superiority in terms of sample pretreatment time, operating procedures, reagent amount, and recovery. This makes it an excellent alternative analytical technique for PFAS residue measurement at low micrograms-per-kilogram ranges with desirable sensitivity.

In recent years, microplastic (MP) pollution has garnered significant attention owing to its ability to permeate various ecosystems, including soil. These particles can infiltrate the environment, either directly or through the degradation of larger plastic items. Despite growing concerns, standardized methods for quantification are still lacking.

Ion mobility mass spectrometry (IMS) acts as an additional separation dimension when integrated into liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) workflows. LC-IMS-MS methods provide higher peak resolution, enhanced separation of isobaric and isomeric compounds, and improved signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) compared to traditional LC-MS methods. IMS provides another molecular characteristic for the identification of analytes, namely the collision cross section (CCS) parameter, reducing false positive results.

Unlabelled: A method was validated to determine 121 pesticide residues (carbamates, organophosphates, organochlorines, and pyrethroids) in rice samples, following the guidance document SANTE/11312/2021v2. QuEChERS method was selected for pesticide extraction, and the extract was analyzed by HPLC-MS/MS. The methodology demonstrated precision and accuracy, with recovery rates ranging from 70 % to 119 %.

The use of pesticides has led to environmental pollution and posed a global health risk, since they remain as residues on foods. Beans one of the most widely cultivated crop in Africa, and susceptible to attack by insects both on field and during storage, leading to the application of pesticides to control pests' infestation. However, misuse of these chemicals by farmers on beans has resulted in the rejection of beans exported to European countries, due to the presence of pesticide residues at concentrations higher than the maximum residues levels (MRLs).

Benzophenone-3 (BP-3), utilized as a UV filter in cosmetic products, is an emerging contaminant that constitutes a threat to natural resources and environmental health. This study investigated the assimilation of the UV filter BP-3 in Crassostrea gigas oysters collected in Florianópolis, Santa Catarina, Brazil. Lyophilized oyster tissue extracts were prepared using the QuEChERS method, and LC-MS/MS was employed to determine the BP-3 concentration in the samples.
