Título An improved method for the determination of phenol in the urine of workers exposed to benzene or phenol
Información bibliográfica 1981, Vol.48, No.2, p.159-163. Illus. 8 ref.
Resumen Interlaboratory comparison of phenol in urine analyses shows large variability, much larger than is normally associated with gas chromatographic analysis, which suggests that sample preparation problems are to blame. Description of a simple method of analysis which has been in use in the author's laboratory: 2-ethylphenol is added to the urine as an internal standard; the sample is distilled and the distillate directly analysed by gas chromatography on a column packed with Tenax-GC using flame-ionisation detectors. The detection limit is 0.1mg/l, and the coefficient of variation at 5.9mg/l is 4.1% (n=8).
