Water pollution

Abstract

As quoted by Hammocket al.¹`the most obvious application of immunochemistry is for compounds difficult to analyze by classical methods. Gas liquid chromatography is most applicable to compounds that are volatile (this usually means hydrophobic and small), heat-stable and which have functionalities easily detected by available selective detectors. High performance liquid chromatography is less restrictive, but still depends upon specific functionalities for detection’. Thus immunoassays have only for a few years to identify for pollutants in water, soil or air. Three types of pollutants are important: bacteria, viruses and agrochemicals.
