title: Rapid determination of light halogenated hydrocarbons in urine.
abstract: We describe a rapid method for determining light halogenated hydrocarbons (LHH) in urine by electron capture gas-liquid chromatography. The hydrocarbons are extracted from urine into pentane. A 2-microliter injection of the pentane extract provides a detection limit of less than 1 microgram/liter.
