Abstract
An analytical protocol is developed to analyze for 33 compounds in ambient air around the household, drinking water, and from dermal contact while applying pesticides. Soxhlet extraction is used on both the polyurethane foam plugs, which were used as air sample trapping media, and the gloves reflecting dermal contact. The extraction procedure of U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Method 608 is used for water samples. A stringent gas chromatography/electron capture detection (GC/ECD) and gas chromatography/mass spectroscopy/multiple ion detection (GC/MS/MID) analytical approach parallel to the procedures of the current EPA contract laboratory program is used for analysis.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
