Abstract
We have investigated the toxicity and pharmacokinetics of chlordecone (CD) in chemical workers poisoned with this organochlorine pesticide ingredient. To achieve this objective we have developed a reliable and practical assay procedure for CD applicable to a variety of biological specimens. A gas chromatographic method using an electron capture detector is presented together with a discussion of some of the analytical problems associated with this compound.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
