Dicofol is widely used as a pesticide in agriculture applications. Since dicofol is mainly synthesized from dichlorodiphenyltrichlorethane (DDT), it contains DDT as an impurity. The European Community has forced Prohibition Directive 79/117/EEC to reduce DDT in dicofol formulations. Specifically, DDT

The novel molecularly imprinted microsphere (MIM) that could be applied as special sorbent was synthesized by aqueous suspension polymerization using 1,1-bis(4-chlorophenyl)-1,2,2,2-tetrachloroethane (α-chloro-DDT) as the dummy template. The obtained MIM exhibited good recognition and selectivity to dicofol and it was successfully
