drop electrode in aqueous media and in the presence of Britton-Robinson buer as the electrolyte. In this study, the electroinactive 2,4-D was rst converted to electroactive nitrated 2,4-D. Subsequent determination was carried out by dierential pulse polarography. Under optimum conditions (pH = 11; = 90 mV s????1; modulation amplitude = 120 mV), the relative standard deviation was 4.5% and limit of detection in terms of nitrated 2,4-D was 5 g L????1 (1:8810????8 M) with linear concentration range from 8 to 300 g L????1(310????8 ????1:1210????6M). The proposed method oered high sensitivity as well as good selectivity. A mechanistic study, showed fourelectron reduction of nitrated 2,4-D to its hydroxylamine derivative. The proposed method was, also, applied to the determination of 2,4-D in environmental samples such as soil samples.
