A proposal to quantify trace levels of hexachlorobenzene in fireworks

Tom Smith and Martin Guest Abstract: Hexachlorobenzene, a persistent organic pollutant, may be present in firework compositions from four sources.  This paper makes a proposal to determine what “trace” quantities of hexachlorobenzene may be found in firework compositions, particularly those originating in the Far East where HCB usage was common and contamination still exists.  Proposals …
