| Abstract |
Methoxyacetic acid (MAA) and ethoxyacetic acid (EAA), the major metabolites of ethylene glycol monomethyl ether (methoxyethanol) and ethylene glycol monoethyl ether (cellosolve), respectively (and of their acetates), were determined by gas chromatography after extraction from urine and methylation using 2-furoic acid (2-FA) as an internal standard. Mean recovery rates from urine of both MAA and EAA (expressed as the response in area percentage relative to the internal standard) were linearly related to exposure levels in the range of 1-100mg/L of urine. The determination method is judged to be rapid, selective and sensitive and can be used to estimate exposure levels to the ethers concerned. |
