An enzyme-linked Immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed for the determination of paraquat In humanexposure samples. Using an antibody dilution of 1/5000, concentrations of paraquat cation In the range 0.1-27 ng/mL could be measured. Limit of detection ranged from 0.1 to 1.0 ng/mL depending on the matrix analyzed. The method had good precision, with less than 5% between-run and less than 4% wlthln-run variation, and was selective for paraquat showing minimal cross reactivity with ethylparaquat, cflquat, and other compounds. In comparison with a gas chromatographic method, the ELISA gave higher recoveries, was less labor Intensive, and was more sensitive. The ELISA was applied to paraquat In high volume glassfiber filters, personal air monitors, worker clothing patches, and hand washes collected during aerial spraying of cotton. When the same filters were analyzed by both ELISA and GC, the ELISA consistently resulted In higher values In keeping with the greater efficiency of the sample preparation steps of ELISA.Due to their selectivity, sensitivity, and simplicity, immu-noassays are useful for determining a wide variety of com-pounds (1). Previous reports on the development of pesticide-specific antibodies indicate such immunochemical pro-cedures can offer advantages over gas chromatography (GC) and high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) methods (1, 2). For instance, immunoassays for S-bioallethrin (3, 4), parathion (5), and other pesticides (6-11) demonstrate the applicability of immunochemicaltechnology in environmental areas. For water-soluble compounds or compounds with low volatility, immunoassays can be faster, cheaper, and significantly more sensitive and reproducible than analytical procedures now employed.
