The electrochemical behavior of the pesticide chlorothion has been studied employing various voltammetric techniques and different supporting electrolytes. These studies covered a pH range from 2.0 to 12.0 in 25% DMF‐water mixtures. Adsorption complications were observed by ac polarography. Millicoulometry was employed for the determination of the number of electrons in the reduction process, and kinetic parameters were evaluated. The proposed reduction mechanism was based on the results obtained. Differential pulse polarography was used to develop an analytical method for chlorothion determination in trace levels.
