General Information:

Camphechlor is an obsolete insecticide and acaricide. It has a low aqueous solubility, is quite volatile and moderately mobile. Based on its chemical properties, it has a high risk of leaching to groundwater. It is not expected to be persistent in soil but may be persistent in water systems. Camphechlor is highly toxic to mammals and is likely to bioaccumulate. It is highly toxic to birds and most aquatic organisms. Isomeric

EPA/USP Method

Method525.1 is a general purpose method for the identification and simultaneous measurement of purgeable volatile organic compounds in surface water, ground water, and drinking water in any treatment stage by capillary column gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. Method 525.2 is a general purpose method applicable for the identification and measurement of organic compounds in source water, drinking water in any stage of treatment as well as drinking water. This method can determine a wide range of organic compounds through using a liquid phase extraction and capillary column gas chromatography and mass spectrometry method
