Abstract
The polychlorinated aromatic compound 3,3',4,4'-tetrachloroazobenzene (33'44'-TCAB) is a contaminant of 3,4-dichloroaniline based herbicides , but there have been no reports of methods for the quantitative deter mination of 33'44'-TCAB in biological organisms, In this communication we address this knowledge gap by presenting a method for the rapid ex traction, detection and determination of 33'44'-TCAB in multiple biolo gical samples based on the alkaline decomposition of the sample follow ed by alumina cartridge column chromatography and GC-HRMS analysis.
