We developed a method for the hydrolysis of amitraz, and its degradation products 2,4-dimethylphenyl-N'-methylformamidine (DMPF) and 2,4-dimethylformamide (DMF) into 2,4-dimethylaniline (DMA), directly from QuEChERS extracts. The hydrolysis product DMA was analysed using liquid chromatography-electrospray tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS/MS) in the

2,4-Dimethylaniline is a recalcitrant degradant of the pesticide amitraz and is also an industrial pollutant which is genotoxic, teratogenic and carcinogenic. The biological degradation of 2,4-dimethylaniline was examined and monitored by cyclic voltammetry. Pseudomonas species isolated from cattle dip tanks
