Chlorinated pesticides

Pesticides. Chlorinated hydrocarbon pesticides (qv) are often found in feed or water consumed by cows (19,20) subsequently, they may appear in the milk, where they are not permitted. Tests for pesticides are seldom carried out in the dairy plant, but are most often done in regulatory or private specialized laboratories. Examining milk for insecticide residues involves extraction of fat, because the insecticide is contained in the fat, partitioning with acetonitrile, cleanup (FlorisH [26686-77-1] column) and concentration, saponification if necessary, and determination by means of paper, thin-layer, microcoulometric gas, or electron capture gas chromatography (see Trace and residue analysis).

Accelerated solvent extraction is a new technique for the extraction of a range of organic pollutants from soils and related material. The technique is based on the use of a solvent or combination of solvents to extract organic pollutants at elevated pressure and temperature from a solid matrix. The range of organic pollutants for which the technique is proposed includes semivolatile compounds, organochlorine pesticides, organophosphorus pesticides, chlorinated herbicides, polychlorinated biphenyls and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons [53-56],... 

Chlorine is used in a number of industrial processes, including the manufacture of plastics, solvents, and pesticides. Chlorine is also used as a bleach in the paper and textile industries and as a disinfectant in warer treatment. The use of chlorine to provide potable water has made life in large cities and our modern lifestyles feasible. 

The range of materials for which the technique is proposed includes semivolatile compounds, including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, organochlo-rine pesticides, organophosphorus pesticides, chlorinated herbicides and polychlorinated biphenyls [92],... 

The HPLC/MS technique used in EPA Method 8321 is best suited for analysis of thermally unstable compounds that are hard to analyze with conventional GC methods, such as organophosphorus pesticides, chlorinated herbicides, and carbamates. In this technique, the detection with mass spectrometry provides the ultimate selectivity. The sensitivity for each individual compound depends on the interferences in a given environmental matrix and on the chemical nature of the analyte.

Diverse chemicals have been reported to affect measured endpoints of fish thyroidal status. These chemicals include aromatic hydrocarbons, planar halogenated aromatic hydrocarbons (dioxans, furans, coplanar PCBs), organochlorine, organophosphorus and carbamate pesticides, chlorinated paraffins, cyanide compounds, methyl bromide, phenol, ammonia, metals (aluminum, arsenic, cadmium, lead and mercury), low pH conditions, environmental steroids and a variety of pharmaceutical agents. For the following reasons their modes of action appear complex and are poorly understood16.

Civilian specialized teams that are prepared for working in chemically contaminated focal points are usually provided with different types of chemical detectors and monitoring kits, which are only capable to point to the presence or absence of the suspected chemical substance or a class of chemical. The most-used detectors are designed for detection of organophosphate pesticides, chlorine and cyanide, but the detectors against classical CW agents are usually not available to civilian chemists. Because, currently, the anti-terrorist activities have spiralled upwards, much of todays s military technology has been developed into commercially available equipment, however, the cost of detection equipment items...

Toxicity (40 CFR 261.24)—A toxic waste is a waste that contains concentrations of certain listed contaminants above established thresholds when tested using the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure, a leaching test. Contaminants include both organic (e.g., pesticides, chlorinated organics) and inorganic contaminants (e.g., heavy metals, including As, Ba, Cd, Cr, Hg, Pb, Se and Ag). 

Hazardous materials or "Hazmat" teams are routinely equipped with a variety of chemical detectors and monitoring kits, primarily employing chemical-specific tests indicating only the presence or absence of a suspected chemical or class of chemical. The most common detectors test for pesticides, chlorine, and cyanide, but not specifically for phosgene, vesicants, or nerve agents. Although chemical tests, detectors, and monitors used by the military are commercially available for civilian use, they have not been acquired by civilian organizations in appreciable numbers.

Ti02 has shown, so far, the best photocatalytic performance of all the inorganic semiconductors studied in the catalysed photodegradation of pesticides, and titania nanomaterials have been successfully used for the degradation of several classes of pollutants (pesticides, chlorinated aromatics, etc.), leading in some cases to complete mineralisation. However, these contrast, with the high cost of separation of the catalysts.
