AbstractThe paper describes a method for the determination of polychlorinated dibenzodioxins and -furans both in gas phase and in particulate matter of cigarette smoke. This method was used for analysing the concentrations of all relevant polychlorinated dibenzofurans in the smoke of the ten best-selling German cigarette brands. The distribution of the various tetra-octachlordibenzodioxin isomers was similar to that obtained after combustion. None of the cigarettes investigated was found to contain 2,3,7,8-tetrachlordibenzodioxin. The total values expressed as TCDD toxic equivalent values are low, ranging from 0.05 to 0.17 pg/cig. These results are compared with the data reported in the literature to date. Regarding uptake of polychlorinated dibenzodioxins and -furans, cigarette smoke is only a source of minor importance as compared to nutrition.

Determination of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDDs/Fs) in water samples from Jabodetabek urban area was conducted. In the results, a unique pattern were found interestingly in Ciliwung river, Pluit, Jakarta, where decachlorinated biphenyl (PCB IUPAC #209), and dichlorinated biphenyl (PCB IUPAC #11) were detected at relatively high concentrations as 406.77 ng/L and 6.38 ng/L, respectively. This congener pattern is different with commercial PCB mixtures, such as arochlor, kanechlor, or chlophen. Octachlorinated dibenzo-p-furan (OCDF) was also detected at a significant concentration in this water as 3.10 ng/L. Decachlorinated biphenyl (PCB IUPAC #209) and OCDF were associated with industrial by-products. Meanwhile, dichlorinated biphenyl (PCB IUPAC #11) was associated with colour pigment which widely used in consumer goods, such as paint and printed ink. Thus, PCBs and PCDD/Fs contamination might have arisen from industrial by-products where various industries located near sampling point. Keywords: polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polychlorinated dibenzodioxins /polychlorinated dibenzo-p-furans (PCDDs/Fs), waters, Jabodetabek, industrial by-products.

The optoacoustic analyzer with a tunable CO2 laser source employed in the present work permits a selective determination of ethylene in trace concentrations higher than 5 ppb (=detection limit for the 10P(14) emission line of the CO2 laser, ν = 949.5 cm-1) and of vinylchloride higher than 42 ppb (= detection limit for the 10P(22) CO2 laser line, ν= 942.4 cm-1). this method covers for both compounds the concentration range corresponding to the hygienic standard. It can be also used for the determination of styrene vapour with concentrations higher than 1.5 ppm.

A plasticized poly(vinyl chloride) membrane electrode based on 4-[(5-mercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-ylimino)methyl]benzene-1,3-diol (L) for highly selective determination of palladium(II) (in PdCl42– form) is developed. The electrode showed a good Nernstian response (29.6 ± 0.4 mV per decade) over a wide concentration range (3.1 × 10–7 to 1.0 × 10–2 mol l–1). The limit of detection was 1.5 × 10–7 mol l–1. The electrode has a response time of about 20 s, and it can be used for at least 2 months without observing any considerable deviation from Nernstian response. The proposed electrode could be used in the pH range of 2.5–5.5. The practical utility of the electrode has been demonstrated by its use for the estimation of palladium content in aqueous samples.

Abstract An expert system (ES) to solve the problem of choosing a catalytic titrimetric procedure for determining monobasic carboxylic acids is described. Carboxylic acids were divided into 3 groups—aliphatic, aromatic, and α-aminocarboxylic acids— based on their behavior in catalytic titrations with different indicator reactions, titrant, and/or solvent and the possibility of their selective determination in the presence of other acids

Abstract Background Entecavir (ENT) is an antiretroviral agent prescribed for treatment of HBV and HIV. Objective Development and validation of three simple, sensitive, selective, and precise methods for determination of ENT in presence of its oxidative degradation product (ENT deg.). Methods The first method was based on second derivative (D2) spectrophotometry through measuring the peak amplitude of D2 spectra at 293.6 nm. The second one is mean centering of the ratio spectra (MCR), which allowed measuring the peak amplitude at 280.0 nm. While the third method was HPLC; where ENT was separated from ENT deg. using Zobrax C18column and methanol: water (30:70, v/v), pH 3 as a mobile phase. The three developed methods were validated according to ICH guidelines. Results Linearity range of ENT was 5.00–50.00 μg/mL for both D2and MCR. However, higher sensitivity was achieved using HPLC (1.00–50.00 μg/mL). Accuracy of ENT were 100.60%±0.547, 101.55%±1.2071 and 100.61%±1.207 for D2, MCR and HPLC methods, respectively, and precision was within 1.280. Conclusions The developed methods were successfully applied for the determination of ENT in Tecavir® tablets without interference from ENT deg. They showed no significant difference compared with the official method as well as they could be applied in the quality analysis of ENT with high selectivity, accuracy, and precision. Highlights ENT was quantified using two spectrophotometric (D2 and MCR) methods and an HPLC method in presence of ENT deg. The proposed methods were applied to analysis of ENT tablets with high selectivity, sensitivity, and accuracy.
