I am currently doing a study on the analysis of organochlorine pesticides in herbal products. Recently, I had decided to run an aldrin standard into my GC-MS in order to determine the effects of the different concentrations of sulfuric acid on the standard. There were two aldrin standards, one with 10% water and one with merely concentrated sulfuric acid. Even though I had expected only aldrin to appear in the chromatogram, there were other chemical compounds present such as valeric acids and aromatic compounds. May I ask if there is any possible explanation for this result? Could it possibly be due to contamination of the standard solution or maybe an reaction of the standard with the solvent used?
What is the composition your standard! Aldrin or a formulation with Adrin as active ingredient?
Pesticide formulation is made up of other ingredients other than the main active constituent!!

I am currently using a Aldrin standard which contains only one component, aldrin itself.
