A polarographic method has been developed for the determination of zineb and rna neb in 0.1 M KCl and 2.0 M H₂SO₄ in 40% acetonitrile-formamide (4 : 1) at d.m.e. Each produces well-defined diffusion-controlled reversible anodic waves. The method has been applied for their determination in commercial samples.
