Abstract

An electron capture gas chromatographic method is presented for routine analysis of chlordanes in fish and shellfish in the presence of PCBs and common organochlorine pesticides. Florisil column chromatography of the sample extract gives a trans-nonachlor fraction and the other chlordane fractions. The interference with other organochlorines is also eliminated. The fractions are then subjected to electron capture gas chromatography. Field samples were collected from Tokyo Bay. Minimum detectable levels by this method were about 0.2 and 0.1 ppb for cis-nonachlor and the other chlordanes, respectively.
