Applications of liquid column chromatography:

There is a great awareness about the pesticide pollution. Organophosphorus pesticides like methyl parathion and parathion are considered a little safer than organochlorine such as DDT. Liquid chromatography has been successful in separating mixtures of organophosphorus and also that of organochlorine pesticides. They can be subsequently quantified individually. Another class of pollutants is polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. The technique has also been successful in separating them.
