“…Various methods have been developed for the analysis of the dithiocarbamates, such as spectrophotometry (Keppel, 1969(Keppel, , 1971, gas chromatography (Spiegelenberg et al, 1979;Newsome, 1974), and liquid chromatography (Gustafsson and Thompson, 1981; Smith et al, 1980). Because of the chemical properties mentioned, most of these methods are based on degradation of the dithiocarbamates prior to detection.…”
