Miellet [80] and Lopez-Avila et al. [81] have reviewed the applications of Soxhlet extraction to the determination of pesticides in soil. This technique has been applied extensively to the extraction of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, volatile organic compounds, pesticides, herbicides and polychlorodibenzo-p-dioxins in soils. Details of the extraction procedures and the analytical finish employed are reviewed in Table 1.1.

In most environmental laboratories the classical liquid-liquid extraction using the separatory funnel is still the most used technique to extract semivolatile organic compounds, pesticides, and PCBs from aqueous samples. Methylene chloride (MeCl), although a potential health hazard, is one of the most commonly used solvents. Several physical properties make it advantageous to use. These properties are listed in Table 15.5. 

Ozonation can be enhanced by the addition of ultraviolet (uv) radiation. This combination can be effective in degrading chlorinated organic compounds and pesticides. In addition, metal ions such as iron, nickel, chromium, and titanium [7440-32-6] can act as catalysts, as can ultrasonic mixing. 

Toxic Organic Materials. The term toxic organics iacludes synthetic organic compounds such as pesticides, herbicides, PCBs, and chlotinated hydrocarbons, usually produced by the manufacturers and formulators of these products. 

Contractors at Sites B, D, G, I, and J had incomplete sampling practices and as a result were not able to evaluate PPE levels based on monitoring data. Eor example, both contractors SSAHPs at Site I lacked provisions for monitoring site hazards such as metals, pesticides, herbicides, and semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs) that could not be evaluated with a PID. Since worker exposures to the range of hazards on site had not been characterized, PPE was not selected based on its performance relative to the nature and level of site hazards. 

A large number of the organic compounds in food and beverages are chiral molecules. In addition, a significant number of the additives, flavours, fragrances, pesticides and preservatives that are used in the food industry are also chiral materials. 

Not all carbon compounds are derived from living organisms, of course, and chemists over the years have developed a remarkably sophisticated ability to design and synthesize new organic compounds. Medicines, dyes, polymers, food additives, pesticides, and a host of other substances are now prepared in the laboratory. Organic chemistry touches the lives of everyone. Its study is a fascinating undertaking. 

With the present major emphasis on the preparation and testing of a seemingly endless number of synthetic organic compounds for pesticidal activity and the clamor over their possible adverse effects on public health and our general environment, comparatively few people realize that certain natural insecticides have been used by man for centuries. The ancient Romans apparently utilized false hellebore as a rodenticide and insecticide (13), and preparations of Tripterygium ivilfordii (thunder-god vine) and Derris species have been employed by the Chinese for hundreds of years as insecticides (16). The insecticidal properties of sabadilla (from Schoenocaulon species) were known in the sixteenth century tobacco was in use as... 

Besides trace metals, adsorptive stripping voltammetry has been shown to be highly suitable for measuring organic compounds (including cardiac or anticancer drugs, nucleic acids, vitamins, and pesticides) that exhibit surface-active properties.

Organophosphate or Organophosphorus Compound—A phosphorus containing organic compound and especially a pesticide that acts by inhibiting cholinesterase. 

The relative immobility of the chlorodioxins is expected, based on the very low solubility of these compounds in water (0.6 / g/liter). In contrast, the herbicide, 2,4,5-T, is relatively mobile in sandy soils, but movement decreases as soil organic matter increases. What does this information tell us, and how does it compare with other organic compounds A mobility scale has been devised for a large number of pesticides (3). Higher mobility numbers reflect increased compound mobility in soils. The dioxins would be in Class 1—i.e., they are immobile in soils and would compare with several chlorinated hydrocarbon insecticides. 

Uses Chlorine is used for water purification and in decreasing amounts for pulp and paper bleaching. Some is used for metallurgical purposes such as metal extraction. Its largest use is for the production of organic compounds used in plastics, pesticides, herbicides, refrigeration fluids, solvents, and others.
