Abstract A high pressure liquid chromatographic (HPLC) assay of ester and salt formulations of 2,4-D has been collaboratively studied. The method is specific for 2,4-D isomer and resolves all known impurities from 2,4-D and the internal standard p-bromophenol. In situ saponification, at room temperature, is performed by adding a combined saponification-internal standard solution to ester products. The same saponification- internal standard solution is added to amine salts and the analytical standard. The injected aqueous potassium salt solution of 2,4-D is then converted to the acid form by an acidic buffered mobile solvent of 20% acetonitrile in water. Optimum chromatography is attained by a mobile solvent pH of 2.95 in a reverse phase microparticulate column, by ion suppression. Each of the 9 collaborators received 3 different ester and 2 different amine formulations of 2,4-D. The coefficients of variation of 2,4-D acid equivalent ranged from 1.22 to 1.59%. The method has been adopted as official first action.

ABSTRACTThe Greenland ice sheet (GrIS) receives organic carbon (OC) of anthropogenic origin, including pesticides, from the atmosphere and/or local sources, and the fate of these compounds in the ice is currently unknown. The ability of supraglacial heterotrophic microbes to mineralize different types of OC is likely a significant factor determining the fate of anthropogenic OC on the ice sheet. Here we determine the potential of the microbial community from the surface of the GrIS to mineralize the widely used herbicide 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D). Surface ice cores were collected and incubated for up to 529 days in microcosms simulatingin situconditions. Mineralization of side chain- and ring-labeled [14C]2,4-D was measured in the samples, and quantitative PCR targeting thetfdAgenes in total DNA extracted from the ice after the experiment was performed. We show that the supraglacial microbial community on the GrIS contains microbes that are capable of degrading 2,4-D and that they are likely present in very low numbers. They can mineralize 2,4-D at a rate of up to 1 nmol per m2per day, equivalent to ∼26 ng C m−2day−1. Thus, the GrIS should not be considered a mere reservoir of all atmospheric contaminants, as it is likely that some deposited compounds will be removed from the system via biodegradation processes before their potential release due to the accelerated melting of the ice sheet.

Abstract An automated high pressure liquid chromatographic method is described for the assay of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) in either salt or ester herbicide formulations. The method is specific for the 2,4-D isomer, and resolves all known impurities from 2,4-D and the internal standard. Ester products are assayed similarly to salt formulations, following room temperature in situ saponification. Results are thus obtained for all products as a per cent 2,4-D acid equivalent. Compounds are separated on a reverse phase microparticulate column with acetonitrile-water (20+80), buffered at pH 3. Precision data indicate a relative standard deviation of better than 1%. The method was developed to replace the nonspecific total chlorine, titration, and saponification assay procedures.
