An ingestion of an unknown quantity of U 46 D-Fluid (500 g dichlorophenoxyacetic acid/l) in a suicide is described. Although 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4 D) is widely used as a herbicide, intoxications are relatively rare. Quantitation of 2,4-D was performed by diethyl ether extraction from acidified samples (viscera) or by deproteinization (blood, plasma) with methanol before HPLC analysis. Postmortem concentrations of 2,4-D in body fluids and tissues are given. The proposed method resulted in a rapid procedure most useful in cases of deliberate poisoning with phenoxyacetic herbicides.
