Metabolism of toluene in man: gas-chromatographic determination of o-, m- and p-cresol in urine

Wolfgang Woiwode; Roman Wodarz; Klaus Drysch; Heinz Weichardt

Complete separation of phenol, o-, m- and p-cresol was achieved by capillary gas-chromatography. Urinary concentrations of cresols were determined quantitatively in samples from 10 male workers exposed to toluene. Besides pcresol, o- and m-cresol were found to be urinary compounds in the case of the exposed group in contrast to normal persons. This finding was proved by gas-chromatography/mass spectrometry. The difference between both groups is significant. It is concluded that besides hippuric acid o-, m- and p-cresol are metabolites of toluene.

Styrene metabolism in man: gas chromatographic separation of mandelic acid enantiomers in the urine of exposed persons

Manfred Korn; Roman Wodarz; Wolfgang Schoknecht; Heinz Weichardt; Ernst Bayer

Abstractd- and l-mandelic acid are separated by gas chromatography as isopropyl ester or isopropyl ester-isopropyl urethane on capillary columns, coated with Chirasil-Val. For its determination in urine the isopropyl ester procedure gives better results because other components of the urine do not cause interference. Thus d- and l-mandelic acid in the urine of exposed workers could be detected and verified by means of GC/MS. Occupational styrene exposure near the MAK-value (100 ppm) results in a l/d-enantiomer-ratio in urine of nearly 1.5.

Cytogenetische Untersuchungen an Trichloräthylen-Arbeitern

H. Konietzko; W. Haberlandt; H. Heilbronner; G. Reill; Heinz Weichardt

On the basis of lymphocyte cultures, chromosome studies were carried out on 28 degreasers under different trichloroethylene load. Nine of these cases showed pathological rates of hypodiploid cells, but otherwise normal caryotypes; one case had a caryotype 47,XY,+mar (small metacentric extrachromosome). In these nine cases the trichloroethylene load, but not the exposure periods on the working place were significantly higher than in the controll group.ZusammenfassungBei 28 Trichloräthylen-Arbeitern unterschiedlicher Expositionsverhältnisse wurden an Lymphozytenkulturen cytogenetische Untersuchungen vorgenommen. In neun Fällen fanden sich pathologische Hypodiploidieraten bei normalem Karyotyp, in einem Fall der Karyotyp 47,XY,+mar (kleines metazentrisches Extrachromosom). Die Analyse der Expositionsbedingungen ergab eine signifikant höhere Aberrationsrate bei hoher Schadstoffkonzentration, während die Expositionszeiten keine gesicherten Zusammenhänge erkennen lie-ßen.

[Psychomotor responses under standardized trichloroethylene load (author's transl)].

H. Konietzko; J. Elster; A. Bencsath; Klaus Drysch; Heinz Weichardt

Abstract20 volunteers were exposed for 4 hrs to a concentration of trichloroethylene in room air of 95 ppm. Before and after exposure the Wiener Detenninationsgerät, the Wiener Reaktionsgerät, and the motorische Leistungsserie (Schoppe) were used to perform 6 tests, each of which gave 15 measurements. A comparison with the results of a blank test which had been obtained 1 week before with the same volunteers under the same conditions, but without the use of trichloroethylene, yielded no statistically significant impairment of the psychomotorial function by trichloroethylene. Further investigations are being carried out.Zusammenfassung20 Versuchspersonen wurden 4 Std lang einer Trichloräthylenraumluftkonzentration von 95 ppm ausgesetzt. Vor Beginn und nach Beendigung der Exposition wurden am Wiener Determinationsgerät, am Wiener Reaktionsgerät und an der motorischen Leistungsserie (Schoppe) 6 Aufgaben gestellt und daraus je 15 Meßwerte gewonnen. Ein Vergleich mit den Ergebnissen eines Leerversuches, der eine Woche zuvor bei den gleichen Versuchspersonen unter gleichen Bedingungen, nur ohne Tri erzielt worden waren, ergab keine statistisch signifikante Beeinträchtigung der psychomotorischen Funktionen durch Trichloräthylen. Weiterführende Untersuchungen sind in Arbeit.20 volunteers were exposed for 4 hrs to a concentration of trichloroethylene in room air of 95 ppm.

Bestimmung von freiem Pentachlorphenol in der Luft und im Blut durch leistungsfähige Routineverfahren

Wolfang Woiwode; Roman Wodarz; Klaus Drysch; Heinz Weichardt

SummaryEfficient chromatographic procedures for the determination of free pentachlorophenol in air and in blood have been developed. Free pentachlorophenol from the indoor environment is preconcentrated in an impinger. Following a simple extraction, it is detected by high performance liquid chromatography without derivatisation. An alternate method is capillary gas chromatography of a suitable derivative. Unchanged pentachlorophenol in whole blood is similarly derivatised and determined quantitatively by capillary gas chromatography using an electron capture detector. The calibration curves of the described chromatographic methods were linear within the specified concentration range. Reproducibility of gas chromatographic separation remained unchanged during the whole research period. Owing to its relative simplicity, the described gas chromatographic method is advantageous for the biological monitoring of large collectives.ZusammenfassungFür die Bestimmung von freiem Pentachlorphenol in der Luft und im Blut wurden leistungsfähige chromatographische Routineverfahren ausgearbeitet. Für die Raumluftbestimmung wird Pentachlorphenol durch Einleiten von Luft in einer Vorlage angereichert und nach Aufarbeitung in freier Form durch Hochdruck-Flüssigkeits-Chromatographie quantitativ erfaßt. Alternativ kann die Analyse nach Derivatisierung durch Kapillar-Gaschromatographie erfolgen. Freies Pentachlorphenol im Vollblut wird nach Aufarbeitung und Derivatisierung durch Kapillar-Gaschromatographie in Verbindung mit dem Elektroneneinfang-Detektor quantitativ bestimmt. Bei den beschriebenen chromatographischen Methoden sind die Eichkurven über den angegebenen Konzentrationsbereich linear. Die gaschromatographische Trennung blieb über den gesamten Untersuchungszeitraum völlig reproduzierbar. Die problemlose Derivatisierung läßt die beschriebene gaschromatographische Methode in Verbindung mit einem automatischen Probengeber für das biological monitoring auch größerer Kollektive geeignet erscheinen.

[EEG changes under standardized trichloroethylene load (author's transl)].

H. Konietzko; I. Elster; A. Bencsath; Klaus Drysch; Heinz Weichardt

SummaryFrom 20 volunteers EEG were lead at hourly intervals telemetrically while exposed to 95 ppm trichloroethylene for 4 hrs. The same investigations were carried out without trichloroethylene. Compared with responses on other compounds we only found minimal changes.ZusammenfassungVon 20 Versuchspersonen wurden während einer 4-stündigen Exposition von 95 ppm Trichloräthylen EEGs in stündlichen Abständen telemetrisch abgeleitet. Die gleichen Untersuchungen wurden an einem Trifreien Kontrolltag durchgeführt. Im Gegensatz zu vergleichbaren Reaktionen auf andere Schadstoffe fanden sich hier im Verlauf der Exposition nur unbedeutende Veränderungen.
