Abstract
A method for the determination of toxaphene in whole blood using gas c hromatography (GC)-electron capture negative ion ECNI/MS and pure poly chlorobornane congerners has been evaluated. Blood samples were extrac ted with hexane/acetone (9:1), extracts defatted with sulfuric acid, a nalytes fractionated on Carbopack-C/Florisil (or silica gel) SPE colum ns then concentrated to final volumes for GC-ECNI/MS analysis. For con firmation, interference from PCBs and other organochlorine pesticides were removed by nitration.
