ABSTRACT
A semi-field test was conducted to assess the risk of exposure to fufenozide in a ditch and pond adjacent
to an agricultural area. To support the investigation, a fast, highly selective, and sensitive method was developed
to determine the residue of fufenozide in water, sediment, and soil through high performance liquid chromatography-
tandem mass spectrometry. The recoveries were in the acceptable range of 85.6% to 99.3% in the
three matrices, with the associated relative standard deviations at 1.2% to 7.8%. The results indicate that the
surface water-sediment system could be exposed to fufenozide through runoff after application, which dissipated
rapidly in the aquatic ecosystem. The toxicity exposure ratio showed no risk of fufenozide exposure to
the fish in the aquatic ecosystem close to the agriculture field.
