title: Cleanup of environmental sample extracts using Florisil solid-phase extraction cartridges.
abstract: Disposable cartridges containing 1 g of Florisil are investigated for cleanup of extracts obtained from various environmental matrices. Elution patterns and recoveries are determined for 22 chlorinated hydrocarbons and 16 phthalate esters in the presence of interferents such as corn oil, diesel hydrocarbons, organochlorine pesticides, and chlorinated phenols. Hexane, hexane/diethyl ether (1:1), hexane/acetone (9:1), and various combinations of hexane/methylene chloride are used as eluants.
