Abstract A method is described for detection of chlorinated paraffins (CPs) in biological and environmental samples. Sample preparation includes sulfuric acid treatment followed by adsorption chromatography on ilumina, which yields the CPs in one fraction that is almost free of interfering material. Using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry j with negative-ion chemical ionization, the limit of detection is 5 ng (corresponding to the lower ppb range). CP levels of 30 ppm, 200 ppb, ' and 5 ppb were found in sewage sludge, human fat, and sediment, respectively.

Tomato shoots that had been (a) fed (�)-[2H9]abscisic aldehyde via the xylem or (b) fed H218O together with (�)-[2H9]abscisic aldehyde via the xylem or (c) exposed to 18O2 and fed (�)-[2H9]abscisic aldehyde, were then wilted. The abscisic acid present was isolated, methylated and resolved into (+)- and (-)- methyl abscisate. These methyl abscisate samples were then examined by negative ion chemical ionisation (methane) gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. The undeuteriated (+)-abscisic acid contained no 180 from H218O but did contain one 18O from 18O2. No 18O from either of these sources was present in the undeuteriated (-)-abscisic acid. It was not possible to discount the xanthophyll hypothesis for the origin of stress-induced abscisic acid on the basis of these experiments. Both (+)- and (-)- multiply deuteriated abscisic acid contained one and two 18O atoms from H218O but none from 18O2. It is postulated that this multiply deuteriated (�)-abscisic acid is formed by a separate enzyme system from that which forms endogenous stress-induced (+)-abscisic acid. On the basis of the low incor- poration of abscisic aldehyde into abscisic acid, it is suggested that the endogenous precursor of stress- induced abscisic acid is an as yet unidentified structure and that abscisic aldehyde competes with it.
