Abstract An extremely simple, rapid method is described for simultaneously determining methanol, ethanol, acetone, isopropanol, and low-boiling hydrocarbons associated with glue sniffing. Less than 1 µl of blood, mixed with an internal standard, is injected directly into a low-cost gas chromatograph equipped with a flame-ionization detector. No extraction, distillation, and (or) sample preparation is required, and the method is sensitive to less than 10 µg of alcohol per ml.

Abstract Using a new, sensitive photo-ionization detector in a portable gas chromatograph that operates at ambient temperature, a method was developed for determining ethylene dibromide in air as low as 19 ppb. Vapor standards were prepared for calibration of the detector; concentrations in these standards were accurately determined by using a flame ionization detector. This detector was previously calibrated with an aqueous standard of ethylene dibromide. Using the 2 gas chromatographs, the loss of ethylene dibromide through sorption from the atmosphere of the vapor standards was determined. Solubility of ethylene dibromide in water was also established at 3 temperatures, using the flame ionization detector.

A kind of online or portable online odor detector is needed for continuously monitoring the concentration and tracing the source of the odor which is one of the atmosphere pollution. Combining gas chromatograph (GC) and micro-fluidic chip technology, we present a kind of odor detecting system which using micro-fluidic chip for gas separator and photo ionization detector (PID) for sensor. The 115×60×6mm micro-fluidic chip, etched a micro channel of 1mm diameter and 1.8m length inside, is filled by polyethylene glycol as stationary phase according to the type and character of odor. Respectively using micro-fluidic chip and stainless steel packed columns, the acetone detecting experiments prove that corresponding values of the theoretical plates numbers are 2156 and 1250, in addition, the values of their tailing factor are 1.20 and 1.33. The separation experiment between acetone and ethyl alcohol in the chip illustrate the degree of separation is 3.1.

The present study was conducted to assess the carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic health risks of PAHs contamination in roasted plantain collected from three different locations within Osogbo metropolis, Nigeria. The PAHs were extracted using Soxhlet extraction technique with n-hexane and dichloromethane (3:1) as the extracting solvent. A column, packed with silica gel, was used for clean-up process and the levels of the targeted PAHs were determined by a gas chromatograph–flame ionization detector (GC-FID). The result revealed that the concentrations of total PAHs detected in the roasted samples at location A, B, C were 3.958 μg/kg, 3.654 μg/kg and 3.217 μg/kg. The HMW carcinogenic PAHs constitute about 32% of the total PAHs in the roasted plantain samples where benzo(a)pyrene, which is a marker for carcinogenicity, was found to be 9%. Comparing these results with the regulatory limits, all the analyzed roasted plantain samples were found below the maximum residual limit (MRL) of 5 μg/kg, but the calculated carcinogenic risk (CR) presented value greater than 1×10-4, signifying health risk associated with the consumption of the roasted plantain. The major source of the PAHs using diagnostic ratios (Fla/Pyr and Ph/Ant) showed that the charcoal used in roasting is a major contributing factor to the high levels of PAHs detected in the roasted plantain samples.

AbstractA gas chromatographic method was developed for the determination of N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) in cigarette smoke. The NDMA in the smoke of 200 cigarettes was trapped in a solution of sodium hydroxide and separated from most of the smoke components by distillation from acidic and basic solutions. The aqueous solution was extracted for 8 hr. into ethyl ether in a Dean Stark apparatus. To concentrate the solution of NDMA, the ether was distilled until only 5 ml of the solution remained. An aliquot of this solution was analysed by means of a gas chromatograph equipped with a 200-ft. glass capillary column coated with Carbowax 20-M poly(ethylene glycoI). An alkali metal flame ionization detector with a selectivity of 10*/1 for nitrogen compounds to normal hydrocarbons was used. Small amounts (2 ng) of nitrosamines in the presence of large amounts of other compounds were easily detected. N-nitrosodimethylamine-C

Abstract We describe a modified gas-chromatographic method for acetate in serum or plasma, intended for use in the investigation of acetate intolerance in hemodialysis patients. The assay may be adapted for use with a single-column gas chromatograph equipped with a flame ionization detector. The analysis, made isothermally, requires only 0.5 ml of plasma or serum. Only one deproteinizing step is required to prepare the sample for analysis. Additionally, we present preliminary findings of an ongoing acetate-intolerance study.

Abstract In this method for detection and quantification of volatile alcohols by capillary gas chromatography, the serum sample is deproteinized, then directly injected into the gas chromatograph with 1-propanol as the internal standard. The capillary column is a 30-m bonded methylsilicone-coated, fused-silica column. With helium as the carrier gas, the injector inlet is set at a split ratio of 1/30 and the average linear velocity in the column is 25 cm/s. Injector and flame-ionization detector temperatures are 280 degrees C, oven temperature 35 degrees C. Chromatography time is less than 3 min.
