Dithiocarbamates (DTCs) are important organosulfur compounds, which act as inhibitors of metal dependant and sulphydryl enzymes and have a serious consequence on biological systems. They possess variety of applications in agriculture as fungicides, as well as, in the rubber industry as vulcanization accelerators and antioxidants. In this way, DTCs are the main group of fungicides used to control approximately 400 pathogens of more than 70 crops and are registered in all the EU member states and many other countries. Ethylenthiourea (ETU) and propylenthiourea (PTU) are the most important transformation products of DTCs suspected to cause various pathogenic effects. A rapid and very sensitive method for trace analyses of transformation products of DTCs by liquid chromatography was successfully introduced. Good recoveries for different matrices and low limits of detection and quantification were achieved.
