Weichbrodt et reported on the use of focused open-vessel microwave-assisted extraction (EOV-MAE) for the determination of organochlorine pesticides in high-moisture samples such as fish. The results were comparable to those with closed-vessel microwave-assisted extraction (CV-MAE) and ASE. The main advantage of FOV-MAE is that the use of Hydromatrix is unnecessary as the solvent mixture of ethyl acetate and cyclohexane allows the removal of water from the sample matrix via azeotropic distillation. 

Wilson and co-workers [332, 333] have discussed the determination of aldrin, chlordane, dieldrin, endrin, lindane, o,p and p,p isomers of DDT and its metabolites, mirex, and toxaphene in seawater and molluscs. The US environmental Protection Agency has also published methods for organochlo-rine pesticides in water and wastewater. The Food and Drug Administration (USA) [334] has conducted a collaborative study of a method for multiple organochlorine insecticides in fish. Earlier work by Wilson et al. [333, 335] in 1968 indicated that organochlorine pesticides were not stable in seawater.
