title: Simultaneous measurement of alcohols and hydrogen cyanide in biological specimens using headspace gas chromatography.
abstract: We attempted to analyze biological specimens simultaneously for alcohols and hydrogen cyanide. A headspace gas chromatographic method with thick film wide bore column (PEG 20M) for the simultaneous determinations of methanol, ethanol, n-propanol and hydrogen cyanide in blood has been developed. This method was applied for the determinations of methanol, ethanol and hydrogen cyanide in a forensic autopsy case and animal experiments.
