Studies on nitenpyram determination and behavior within tea remain limited despite its widespread use as a neonicotinoid. An organic-saving analytical approach tailored for the detection of nitenpyram in tea was established. Nitenpyram was extracted by boiling water and cleaned up by Cleanert PCX solid-phase. The average recoveries were 75.1-94.5 %, with relative standard deviations (RSDs) of 0.7-8.6 % for saving 34.5-88.6 % organic solvent. The limits of quantification (LOQs) were 0.002 mg·kg in fresh tea shoots, 0.005 mg·kg in made tea, and 0.001 mg·L in tea brew, satisfying the current minimum Maximum Residue Limit (MRL). Nitenpyram dissipated rapidly with half-lives of 1.2-1.4 days at the recommended dosage (27 g a.i. ha) in two locations. Remarkably, 20-110 % of nitenpyram was leached out from made tea in different brewing modes. This work provides insights into nitenpyram's rational application in tea cultivation and offers considerations to institutions tasked with unestablished MRLs in tea.

Article Synopsis
- Neonicotinoids are commonly found in various crops across Zhejiang Province, China, with detection rates between 42.1% and 82.9% and high concentrations, particularly in tea.
- The water-solubility of neonicotinoids enhances their movement from soil to water, affecting the distribution and increasing risks, notably for compounds like nitenpyram and dinotefuran.
- Despite the presence of neonicotinoids in food, estimated dietary exposure levels for teenagers, adults, and elders remain below the safety reference dose, though teenagers, in particular, show higher exposure through fruit consumption.
Neonicotinoid residues in commercial Japanese tea leaves produced by organic and conventional farming methods.

The current study sought to assess the residual levels of neonicotinoid insecticides (NEO) in organic and conventional green tea leaves produced in Japan. A total of 103 tea leaves (thus, 42 organic and 61 conventional), were sampled from grocery stores in Japan. Concentrations of NEOs in the tea leaves were quantified using LC-MS/MS; and the data was used to estimate maximum daily intakes of NEOs within the Japanese population.

The extensive use of neonicotinoids (NEOs) has caused the release of wide-ranging of residues to the environment and food, and their potential health risks are now receiving more attention. In this study, three surveys were conducted to obtain the overall profiles of NEO residue levels (seven NEOs and one metabolite) in Chinese tea over a period of seven years. A total of 726 tea samples were tested, and nearly 87% of the samples were found to have detectable NEO residues.

The widespread use of neonicotinoids (NEOs) and fipronils (FIPs) as insecticides in modern agriculture has been widely investigated because of their adverse effects on human health. This study aimed to develop an accurate quantitative approach to analyze NEOs and FIPs in tea by using a modified QuEChERS method based on dispersive solid-phase extraction procedure coupled with liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry. To minimize matrix interferences largely, we selected polyvinylpolypyrrolidone (PVPP) and strong cationic exchange adsorbent (PCX) as dispersive adsorbents to eliminate polyphenols and caffeine from tea extract, respectively.
