Concentration levels of 2,4-D and 2,4,5-T in forensic material. 1977

A Coutselinis, and R Kentarchou, and D Boukis

Concentration levels, of 2,4-D and 2,4,5-t in blood and viscera in a case of fatal intoxication with "Tributon" are given. Since the toxicity of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4,5-t), widely used as herbicides in domestic and agricultural situations is very low, little information exists on human toxicology and particularly on analytical data in forensic material in cases of fatal poisoning. The reason of this paper is to provide further information on the concentration levels of these compounds in viscera in cases of fatal, accidentally or suicidal, poisoning.
