In control subjects and workers exposed to glycol ethers and their acetates, we determined the urinary metabolites (three alkoxyacetic acids) by a simple and rapid method. Levels of urinary metabolites were significantly higher in the solvent workers than in the nonexposed subjects. The exposure levels measured by personal monitoring of breathing zone air were far below the threshold limit value. The present results indicate that determination of urinary alkoxyacetic acids by the practical method used here is useful for evaluating excessive exposure to solvents.
在对照组以及接触乙二醇醚及其醋酸酯的工人中，我们采用一种简单快速的方法测定了尿代谢物（三种烷氧基乙酸）。溶剂接触工人的尿代谢物水平显著高于未接触者。通过对呼吸带空气进行个人监测测得的接触水平远低于阈限值。本研究结果表明，采用此处所用的实用方法测定尿烷氧基乙酸，对于评估溶剂过度接触情况很有用。
