To broaden the range of measurable pesticides for stable isotope analysis (SIA), we tested whether SIA of the anthranilic diamides cyantraniliprole (CYN) and chlorantraniliprole (CHL) can be achieved under elemental analyzer/isotope ratio mass spectrometry with compound purification in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Using this method, carbon isotope compositions were measured in pesticide residues extracted from plants (lettuce) grown indoors in potting soil that were treated with 500 mg/kg CHL and 250 mg/kg CYN and were followed up for 45 days. Our results show that the CYN and CHL standard materials did not have significant isotope differences before and after clean-up processing in HPLC. Further, when applied to the CYN product and CHL product in soil, stable isotope differences between the soil and plant were observed at <1.0‰ throughout the incubation period. There was a slight increase in the variability of pesticide isotope ratio detected with longer-term incubation (CHL, on average 1.5‰). Overall, we measured the carbon isotope ratio of target pesticides from HPLC fraction as the purification and pre-concentration step for environmental and biological samples. Such negligible isotopic differences in pesticide residues in soils and plants 45 days after application confirmed the potential of CSIA to quantify pesticide behavior in environments.
