Report of a Pilot Monitoring Study on Paraquat and Diquat
The report of a pilot monitoring study on residues of
paraquat and diquat residues in selected food of plant
origin is presented. The provided information should help
laboratories to localise commodities that are worthwhile
analysing for residues of these two herbicides.

Pilot-Monitoring on Pesticides in Honey (EURL-AO and EURL-SRM)
The report of the Pilot-Monitoring on Pesticides in Honey
was released. This project was a collaboration of the EURL-
AO and the EURL-SRM. In total 187 honey samples from more
than 30 countries of origin were analyzed for a very large
scope of MRM and SRM pesticides and metabolites.

QuEChERS-Based Method for the Analysis of OPP (sum)
A QuEChERS-based method for the analysis of 2-phenylphenol
(sum) is introduced (AcH-QuEChERS). The method involves an
acidic hydrolysis under strong conditions. Measurement is
preferably conducted by LC-MS/MS.

Analysis of Acidic Pesticides and Metabolites via CEN-QuEChERS and FA-QuEChERS
A New Version of the Method for Acidic Pesticides and
Metabolites via CEN-QuEChERS and FA-QuEChERS (employing
Formic Acid) was released.
Recoveries of 42 compounds via CEN-QuEChERS and FA-
QuEChERS are compared and the theoretical background
is discussed.
About EURL
The concept of the EU Reference Laboratories (EURLs, former CRLs) and National Reference Laboratories (NRLs) is laid down in the Regulation (EC) No 625/2017 of the European Parliament and of the Council.
