Being resistant pollutants, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), organochlorinated and organophosphate pesticides have already been detected in raw materials and finished cosmetics. This paper will introduce a HPTLC analytical procedure to detect PCBs, pesticides and their mixtures in cosmetics as a preliminary screening to gas chromatographic determination, one of the most suitable methods for identify and quantify pesticides and PCBs. Six organochlorinated pesticides, three organophosphate pesticides and three PCBs, chosen between the most common environmental contaminants, were studied in five commercial products and in a raw material, lanolin.

Abstract
Being resistant pollutants, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), organochlorinated and organophosphate pesticides have already been detected in raw materials and finished cosmetics. This paper will introduce a HPTLC analytical procedure to detect PCBs, pesticides and their mixtures in cosmetics as a preliminary screening to gas chromatographic determination, one of the most suitable methods for identify and quantify pesticides and PCBs. Six organochlorinated pesticides, three organophosphate pesticides and three PCBs, chosen between the most common environmental contaminants, were studied in five commercial products and in a raw material, lanolin.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
