Use Of Solid-Phase Resins In Pesticide Monitoring, Jenny Bittinger
Use Of Solid-Phase Resins In Pesticide Monitoring, Jenny Bittinger
Honors Theses
The feasibility of using solid-phase resins for monitoring concentrations of pesticides in water was examined. Efforts were made to ascertain relationships between concentrations of a pesticide (methoxychlor) in water and on a resin (AXD-2) under laboratory conditions. Solutions of pesticide in water were drawn through columns of resin. Methylene Chloride was used to absorb the pesticide from the resin. Gas chromatography and ultraviolet spectrophotometry were used to measure concentrations of pesticide.
