Abstract

The urinary concentration of some solvents (acetone, cyclohexane, 1,2 dichloropropane, n-hexane, methyl ethyl ketone, perchloroethylene, styrene, toluene, 1,1,1, trichloroethane) was measured by means of a gas chromatography Hewlett-Packard 5890 supplied with a flame ionization detector (GC-FID, DANI HS 3950). The coefficient of variation of the method was lower than 5%. The sensitivity of the GC-FID was very similar to what of mass spectrometer detector (GC-MSD, HP 5970 A).
