Abstract
WE wish to report an artefact which has occurred in our laboratory during the analysis of plant materials for residues of organochlorine pesticides by gas–liquid chromatography, with the electron capture detector. It occurs as a peak in a position very close to that of aldrin, when using a silicone elastomer on ‘Celite’ packed column, and at the same position as β-benzene hexachloride (BHC), when using an ‘Apiezon L’ on ‘Celite’ packed column.
