What Does POX Stand For?
POX stands for Purgeable Organic Halogen S
POX, or Purgeable Organic Halogen S, refers to a category of organic compounds that contain halogen atoms and can be effectively removed or "purged" from environmental samples. These substances are often analyzed in environmental monitoring and assessment, particularly in relation to water quality and contamination studies. The ability to purge these compounds allows for improved detection and quantification, making POX an important focus in chemical analysis and regulatory compliance.
