Abstract
Practical exploitation of electron absorption detection followed rapidly upon the original announcement of the technique (Lovelock and Lipsky 1960) and it is now employed in the gas chromatographic determination of pesticide residues (Goodwin, Goulden, and Reynolds 1960, Clark 1960, Watts and Klein 1961), lead alkyls in gasoline (Lovelock and Zlatkis 1961, Dawson 1963) and in air pollution studies (Bellar and Sigsby 1963, Darley, Kettner, and Stephens 1963). In addition, Lovelock (1961 a, 1962, 1963) has considered the relationship between electron absorption and biological activity, and Wentworth and Becker (1962) have described the use of an electron absorption detector for the measurement of electron affinities.
