Abstract
A reversed-phase liquid Chromatographic method is presented for the determination of picloram in the parts per billion 2 (ppb) range in soil, soil solution, and stream samples. Quantification is effected by UV absorption at 254 nm. Derivatization is not necessary. The method permits 92% ±7.1 recovery from water samples and 61.8% ± 11.1 recovery from soil samples.
