Abstract A gas chromatographic method is described for the quantitative determination of N-butyl-N-ethyl-α,α,α-trifluoro-2,6-dinitro-p-tolindine and α,α,α-trifluoro-2,6-dinitro-N,N-dipropyI-p-toluidine herbicides in formulations. The sample is extracted with benzene, and equal amounts of sample and reference solution in the same concentration range are analyzed by gas chromatography, using an electron capture detector and an SE-30/Diatoport S column. The method has been applied successfully to laboratory-prepared and commercial samples.

Direct measurements of the ventilatory response to variations in CO2 tension independent of changes in O2 tension are easily obtained by breathing mixtures of carbon dioxide in 100% oxygen. Direct determination of the respiratory response to O2, however, is not possible due to alternations in CO2 tension resulting from changes in ventilation. Therefore, an attempt has been made to determine this response empirically by a combined analysis of breath-holding and ventilatory data. Comparison of experimentally determined responses to various combinations of O2 and CO2 tensions agree quite well with those predicted by this approach and indicate that oxygen plays a small but definite role in the regulation of eupnic breathing at sea level.

Abstract A microanalytical method was developed for the determination of the experimental synthetic pyrethroid insecticide Bioethanomethrin ((5- benzyl-3-furyl) methyl trans-(+)-3-( cyclopentylidenemethyl)-2,2 -dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylate). After saponification, trichloroacetyl chloride is used to form an ester from the alcohol moiety, and trichloroethanol is used to form an ester from the acid moiety. Infrared and mass spectral data support the expected structures of the derivatives formed. Nanogram sensitivity is realized by utilizing a gas chromatograph with an electron capture detector.

Abstract A capillary gas chromatographic (GC) method using an electron capture detector is described for determining T-2 and HT-2 toxins and diacetoxyscirpenol (DAS) in cereal grains at levels as low as 100 ppb for T-2 and DAS and 50 ppb for HT-2. Samples are extracted with methanol-water according to the Scott method, and further purified on a silica gel cartridge and a cyano column. Heptafluorobutyrylimidazole (HFBI) is added to form the esters of the analytes. Ester(s) of T-2, HT-2 and DAS are separated on a 30 m × 0.32 mm DB-5 fused silica column and measured with a "Ni electron capture detector. Samples were confimed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry using electron impact ionization and single ion monitoring at the molecular mass of 501.11 m/z for T-2, 665.08 m/z for HT-2, and 502.12 m/z for DAS at 10 000 resolving power. The method was applied to wheat, oats, and barley. Average recoveries ranged from a low of 65% for T- 2 in barley to a high of 99% for DAS in oats.
