Abstract
The residue analysis of organochloroinsecticides could be substantially improved by using glass capillary columns. The special advantages of the capillary gas chromatography (separation of complex mixtures, simultaneous determination of by-components, improved reliability at the identification, increased sensitivity) can be used with right handling to directly separate the whole mixture of chlorohydrocarbons that are to be met in foods (insecticides, HCB and PCB). The identification is possible even of microgram amounts per kg substance by a direct coupling of GC and MS working without carrier gas separator. In this way the occurrence of Mirex in samples of human fat tissues could be demonstrated.
