[Simultaneous determination of trichloroethylene and trichloroethanol in blood by liquid-liquid extraction-gas chromatography].

To establish a method for determing the trichloroethylene(TCE)and trichloroethanol(TCOH)in blood samples by liquid-liquid extraction-gas chromatography with electron capture detector. With this method,ether was used as extraction solvent and trichloromethane was used as an internal standard. The whole blood sample was extracted with ether, and dehydrated by anhydrous sodium sulfate. Then the analytes were separated on HP-5 capillary column(30m×0.32mm×0.15μm)and detected byECD.The retention time was for qualitative analysis and the internal standard was for quantitation. The standard curves of TCE and TCOH showed significant linearity between 95.5μg/L-7640.0μg/L(=0.9997)and 19.0μg/L-1520.0μg/L(=0.9992). The average recovery was 95.5%-103.6%.The intra-day and inter-day precisions()were 2.5%-6.8%(=6)and 1.6%-4.3%(=6) respectively. The detect limit of TCE and TCOH were 2.10 μg/L and 0.56μg/L(S/N=3)respectively.The blood can be kept 7 days at-20℃ refrigerator without significantly loss. This method is proved to be simple,practical and highly sensitive. It can satisfy the request for the determination of blood samples of humans exposed to TCE.
