[Detection and determination of parathion and p-nitrophenol in biological material by reverse-phase-high-power-liquid...

In 2 persons (female and male) who committed suicide reverse-phase-high-power-liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used to detect, in the first case, Parathion in the stomach and blood as well as p-Nitrophenol in the kidneys, and in the second case, p-Nitrophenol in the urine. The Parathion in the stomach was analyzed in quantity, directly and also after hydrolysis to p-Nitrophenol. The results were checked with gas-chromatographic and spectralphotometric methods.
