Figure 3. ECD GC profiles from two RESTEK Pesticide Standard solutions and hexane extracts of
RMA soil and sludge samples volume-adjusted to yield >100% full-scale chromatograms of each sample
to highlight qualitative similarity among the samples (i.e., a constant nominal weight [20 g] of each
sample was extracted/diluted with different volumes of solvent to allow detection of lower-concentration
components while major constituents all exceed 100% full scale). All chromatograms 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 64 10).
