IUPAC Commission on the development, improvement, and standardization of methods of pesticide residue analysis
PESTAB. The proceedings are summarized of the seventh meeting of the IUPAC Commission on the Development, Improvement, and Standardization of Methods of Pesticide Residue Analysis, held in Munich in August 1973. Methods were reported for the extraction, cleanup, analysis, and confirmation of organochlorine pesticide residues, with emphasis on the polychlorinated biphenyls, terphenyls, dibenzo-p-dioxins, and dibenzofurans. Extraction, cleanup, and analytic methods for multiple and single organophosphorus and carbamate pesticide residues were also discussed. Particular attention was given to use of thin-layer and gas chromatographic methods for the analysis of multiple organophosphorus residues. Fumigant residue analysis was discussed with respect to residues resulting from the use of phosphine and methyl bromide and with respect to unchanged fumigants, and methods were presented for the analysis of various fungicide residues, including benomyl, carbendazim, thiabendazole, thiophanate, fuberidazol, pyrazophos, and pyracarbolid.
