What Does EOX Stand For?

EOX stands for Extractable Organic Halides

EOX, or Extractable Organic Halides, refers to a group of organic compounds containing halogen atoms that can be extracted from environmental samples using specific analytical techniques. These compounds are of significant interest in environmental chemistry due to their potential toxicity and persistence in the environment, often originating from the degradation of industrial chemicals or natural processes. EOX analysis is commonly utilized to assess pollution levels and investigate sources of contamination in soil, water, and sediment.
