Abstract

Residue analysis of toxaphene has been difficult because of the complexicity of the technical mixture consisting of a high number of compounds with very similar structure and differing chloro content. Furthermore, the composition off toxaphene in environmental samples varies widely and is normally not like that of the technical mixture. Therefore, quantification of single components in environmental samples was impossible. After the isolation and identification of a great number of components during the last decade, enough standards are available for reliable quantification of toxaphene in all environmental compartments. Recently, most research has been done on the separation of chiral components of toxaphene with a view to identify degradation mechanisms and distribution pathways.
