Distribution of trichloroethylene between plasma and erythrocytes in whole blood from fasting subjects.
The plasma:erythrocyte distribution ratio of trichloroethylene at room temperature was determined by a direct method using 10 separate blood samples. The trichloroethylene content of plasma was lower than that of the erythrocytes by a ratio having a mean value of 0.63 (SD 0.05, range 0.56-0.74).
