Figure 3-10. Average recovery (±S.D.) <strong>in</strong> acetone eluates after XAD-extraction with spiked m<strong>in</strong>eral <strong>water</strong> (‘Spa<br />

blauw’), spiked m<strong>in</strong>eral <strong>water</strong> with humic acids (10 mg/l) added, and spiked natural surface <strong>water</strong><br />

(from the Amsterdam-Rh<strong>in</strong>e canal).<br />

Exceptions are mev<strong>in</strong>phos and metoxuron <strong>in</strong> the pesticides mixture. These pesticides show<br />

significantly lower recoveries <strong>in</strong> the acetone eluate of m<strong>in</strong>eral <strong>water</strong> <strong>samples</strong> with humic acid and<br />

natural <strong>water</strong> <strong>samples</strong> than the m<strong>in</strong>eral <strong>water</strong> <strong>samples</strong>. Recovery of mev<strong>in</strong>phos <strong>in</strong> m<strong>in</strong>eral <strong>water</strong> with<br />

humic acids shows a recovery of 28 % of the nom<strong>in</strong>al <strong>in</strong>itial concentration, and 26 % of the spiked<br />

concentration <strong>in</strong> natural surface <strong>water</strong>, which is lower than recovery from untreated m<strong>in</strong>eral <strong>water</strong><br />

(60%). Metoxuron has a somewhat higher recovery of 46 % (m<strong>in</strong>eral <strong>water</strong> + humic acid) and 51 %<br />

(natural surface <strong>water</strong>) compared to 63 % (m<strong>in</strong>eral <strong>water</strong>). This <strong>in</strong>dicates that there may be competition<br />

for adsorption sites between the substances and humic acids present <strong>in</strong> the <strong>water</strong> at this amount of<br />
