Of course, with so many different final products mixed together, the problem is to identify them. What structure is linked to what bead Several approaches to this problem have been developed, all of which involve the attachment of encoding labels to each polymer bead to keep track of the chemistry each has undergone. Encoding labels used thus far have included proteins, nucleic acids, halogenated aromatic compounds, and even computer chips. 

Busch and Weber (ref. 1) first reported the Pd catalyzed coupling of halogenated aromatic compounds. Their reaction conditions and some examples of their work are shown in equations (4) to (7).

Another entry point for accumulation of organic in animal tissue and animal food products is direct ingestion of contaminated soil by grazing animals [44]. The compounds of main concern are the halogenated aromatics, including PCBs, organochlorine pesticides, PCDDs and PCDFs, which are resistant to metabolization and tend to accumulate in animal fat. The bioaccumulation factor (the ratio of the concentration of animal tissue or produce to the concentration in the diet) can be as high as 5-6 [43]. Compounds such as PAHs and phthalate esters are readily metabolised and excreted by the animals and thus do not accumulate in animal tissue or products. 

The quantitative environmental analysis of surfactants, such as alcohol ethoxylates, alkylphenol ethoxylates (APEOs) and linear alkylbenzene sulfonates (LASs), is complicated by the presence of a multitude of isomers and oligomers in the source mixtures (see Chapter 2). This issue bears many similarities to the quantitation problems that have occurred with halogenated aromatic compound mixtures, e.g. polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) [1].

This paper describes experiments attempting to simulate the accumulation of halogenated aromatic compounds by measuring their transport rate through a layer of water into hexane, and shows that hexabromobenzene is not transported in this system. 

It is interesting to correlate these rules with the first rules that were estimated with no help from RuleMaster. These were the rules used to construct the first prototype expert system. GloveAId for non-halogenated aromatic compounds ...

Such xenobiotics as aliphatic hydrocarbons and derivatives, chlorinated ahphatic compounds (methyl, ethyl, methylene, and ethylene chlorides), aromatic hydrocarbons and derivatives (benzene, toluene, phthalate, ethylbenzene, xylenes, and phenol), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, halogenated aromatic compounds (chlorophenols, polychlorinated biphenyls, dioxins and relatives, DDT and relatives), AZO dyes, compounds with nitrogroups (explosive-contaminated waste and herbicides), and organophosphate wastes can be treated effectively by aerobic microorganisms.
