Abstract A multiresidue method was developed for the simultaneous determination of low parts per billion (ppb) concentrations of the herbicides alachlor, metolachlor, atrazine, and simazine in water and soil using isotope dilution gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Known amounts of 15N,13C-alachlor and 2H5-atrazine were added to each sample as internal standards. The samples were then prepared by a solid phase extraction with no further cleanup. A high resolution GC/low resolution MS system with data acquisition in selected ion monitoring mode was used to quantitate herbicides in the extract. The limit of detection was 0.05 ppb for water and 0.5 ppb for soil. Accuracy greater than 80% and precision better than 4% was demonstrated with spiked samples.

Abstract Twenty-one commercial chlorophenols were examined for the presence of polychlorodibenzo- p-dioxins (chlorodioxins) and related compounds. The chlorophenols were dissolved in aqueous alkali, extracted with petroleum ether, and fractionated on an alumina column. Alumina fractions were examined by electron capture gas chromatography and combined gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Chlorodioxin content was estimated by electron capture gas chromatography. The presence of chlorodioxins, polychlorodibenzofurans (chlorofurans), and polychlorodiphenyl ethers (chloroethers) was confirmed by combined gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The 2,3,-7,8-tetrachlorodioxin was found in 3 of 6 samples of 2,4,5-trichlorophenol but was not detected in any of the 11 samples of tetra- and pentachlorophenol that were examined. Hexachlorodioxin was present at levels ranging from 0.17 to 39 ppm in all 8 pentachlorophenols examined. Hexa-, hepta-, and octachlorodioxins as well as a wide variety of chlorofurans and chloroethers of varying chlorine content were present in most of the tetra- and pentachlorophenols. In addition, the gas chromatographic- mass spectrometric data suggested that some of the chlorophenols contained methoxy- and dimethoxypolychlorofurans and methoxypolychloroethers as well as polychlorohy droxybiphenyl.
