Organochlorine Pesticides in Gallstones
Clinical Chemistry, 1966 Abstract A method is described for the determination of organochlorine pesticide residues in human gallstones. The difficulty caused by the presence of large amounts of cholesterol in the stones is overcome by an acetylation step in the "clean-up" procedure, and the method finishes with identification and determination of the individual ...
