Abstract Total diet samples collected since August 1962 were analyzed for the presence of chlorinated organic pesticides, parathion, and 2,4-D types of herbicides and plant growth regulators. Chlorinated pesticide residues were identified by paper, gas-liquid, thinlayer, and microcoulometric gas chromatography. Parathion residues were identified by polarography and confirmed by paper chromatography. Organophosphate pesticide residues were noted in a few samples by paper chromatography. No herbicides were detected in any samples.

Abstract Previous work, This Journal, 41, 781 (1958), lists the RP values for 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D)1 and 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4,5-T)2 as 0.85- 0.92 and 0.86-0.89 for the aqueous solvent system3 and as 0.00 for both herbicides for the nonaqueous system4, respectively. This paper describes a procedure which separates these two compounds.
