Abstract

PESTAB. A method is described for monitoring the contamination of water ecosystems by PCB at low levels of less than 0. 05 ppm and total DDT plus DDT derivaties at less than 0. 01 ppm in the wet weight of the tissue of fish. The method, a TLC procedure which is described fully, enables small amounts of fat containing low residue levels to be treated with a minimum amount of equipment and solvents for clean up and separation before the final analysis on GLC. The method serves as a supplementary method for sulfuric acid clean up in which PCB and DDT-type compounds remain unaffected, but the epoxide structures are destroyed. This method has been used in cases when the fat yield is low in the residue analyses of plankton, bottom invertebrates, and water plants and when the amount of fat is limited, less than 10 mg.
