| Abstract |
A procedure for measurement of 2-ethoxyacetic acid (EAA), a metabolite of 2-ethoxyethanol (EE), has been validated. The analytical range for EAA is 5 to 100µg/mL of urine; the limit of detection is 4µg/mL, while the limit of quantitation is 7µg/mL. The day-to-day relative standard deviation (Sr) was better than 4.7%; the corresponding within-day Sr was less than 2.0%. The procedure was applied to urine specimens collected from shipyard workers exposed to paints containing 2-ethoxyethanol. |
