A detailed procedure for simple and rapid analysis of acephate, an organophosphorous pesticide, and its metabolite methamidophos in human serum by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry was established. The method included solid-phase extraction with activated charcoal, which gave high recoveries of both analytes. After validation of the method, it was successfully applied to a serum sample obtained from an actual poisoning case. The present method seems very useful, especially in forensic and environmental toxicology.
