title: A new gas chromatographic determination of ethylenethiourea residues without derivatization.
abstract: A new gas chromatographic method reliable in the microgram range, was developed to measure ETU residues in various crops. Contrary to previously published procedures, this new method does not require prior derivatization of the ETU. The limit of sensitivity was shown to be 0.01 ppm using the flame photometric detector, FPD (sulfur mode, 394 nm).
