An extractive method for determination of benzene in blood by gas chromatography.
A gas chromatographic procedure has been developed using toluene extraction for the analysis of benzene in hemolyzed blood. No sample incubation is required and only small quantities of blood (0.2 to 0.5 g) are needed. Levels as low as 0.5 mug benzene per gram of blood have been determined.
