    Abstract:
    Bupirimate is widely used as a highly active systemic fungicide. However, the frequent and heavy use of bupirimate has led to pesticide residues in crops that threaten human health and food safety. At present, there is limited research on the detection of ethirimol, which is the metabolite of bupirimate. This study established an ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) method to simultaneously detect bupirimate and ethirimol residues based on QuEChERS pretreatment. The average recoveries of bupirimate and ethirimol in cucumber were between 95.2 and 98.7%, respectively, with relative standard deviations (RSDs) of 0.92-5.54% at fortified levels of 0.01, 0.1, and 5 mg L-1. The established method was used to determine the residues in field trials in 12 regions of China, and the final residues of bupirimate were all less than the maximum residue limit (MRL). Since the risk quotient (RQ) of bupirimate and ethirimol in cucumber was less than 1.3%, the dietary risk assessment indicated that bupirimate and ethirimol had a low long-term dietary risk to the general population in China. This study provides effective guidance on the proper use of bupirimate in cucumber fields and a reference for establishing the MRL of bupirimate in China.
