Figure 2. Electron capture detector (ECD) capillary gas chromatographic (GC) profiles from two RESTEK
Pesticide Standard solutions and hexane extracts of RMA soil and sludge samples specially prepared to allow
direct qualitative and quantitative comparisons of pesticide burdens among the samples (i.e., a constant nominal
weight [20 g] of each sample was extracted/diluted with a constant volume [5000 mL] of solvent. All chromato-
grams were obtained under identical instrument conditions (1.0 L injected; 30 m, DB-1701 megabore column;
140C [0.5 min] then 5C/min to 275C [7.5 min]; GC attenuation 512 10).
