Abstract
The test is based on the discovery that when DDT is heated in an anhydrous pyridine soln. containing xanthydrol and solid KOH a red color develops, which under proper conditions is proportional to the amt. of DDT present. The reaction is sensitive to as little as 10 [gamma] of DDT, and it will detect small differences in conc. within the range of 10 to 200 [gamma]. The test is simple and can be run in a comparatively short time.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
