Quantification of volatile solvents in blood by static headspace analysis.
A static headspace method for determination of volatile solvents in blood was developed. The solvents determined were 1,1,1-trichloroethane, toluene, xylene (o-, m- and p-), ethylbenzene, styrene, alpha-methylstyrene and 4-methylstyrene at concentrations ranging from 0.01 to 1 mug/ml. Internal standard calibration was used. Parameters affecting sensitivity and precision were determined and optimized.
