Preservation of organophosphorous pesticides in water samples

Pages 75-86 | Received 31 Aug 1977, Published online: 21 Nov 2008
 

Abstract

Four techniques were studied for capacity to preserve sixteen organophosphorous pesticides in distilled water and in creek water. A technique using chloroform effectively preserved all sixteen pesticides for the three weeks of the study and refrigeration was effective for fourteen of the pesticides, but buffers of pH A and pH 7 appeared undependable as preservatives.
