Abstract

The application of XAD-2, XAD-4 and Tenax macroreticular resins for concentrating chlorinated insecticides and polychlorinated biphenyls from sea and tap water samples was evaluated. The solvents used eluted not only the chlorinated hydrocarbons of interest but also other electron-capture detector sensitive materials, so that the eluates had to be purified. The effects of the adsorbent materials and solvent mixtures on the blank values and the sensitivity and reliability of the procedure investigated for the determination of chlorinated hydrocarbons in sea and tap water are discussed.
