ABSTRACT
@#Abstract: Objective - - To establish a pre column derivatization high performance liquid chromatography method for detecting Methods dimethyl sulfate (DMS) in workplace air. DMS in workplace air was collected with mercaptopyridine impregnated （ silicone tube. The derivative of DMS and mercaptopyridine was eluted by mobile phase phase A: water, phase B: acetonitrile, ∶ the volume ratio was 40 60) , and separated with a C18 column, then detected with diode array detector and quantitated by a Results - standard curve. The linear range of DMS was 0.17 40.00 mg/L, with the correlation coefficient of 0.999 95. The detection limit and the lower limit of quantitation were 0.05 and 0.17 mg/L respectively. The minimum detection concentration and minimum quantitation concentration were 0.02 and 0.04 mg/m³, respectively (air sample volume of 4.5 L, 1.0 mL sample - - - solution). The average desorption efficiency was 98.40% 102.00%. The within run and between run relative standard deviations - - were 0.61% 3.92% and 1.71% 6.00%, respectively. The samples could be stored at room temperature for at least 14 days. Conclusion This method can be used to detect DMS in workplace air.
ABSTRACT
This paper analyzed the clinical data of 17 patients with inhalation dimethyl sulfate poisoning in Changzhou Third People's Hospital, in order to understand the clinical characteristics, treatment and prognosis of patients with inhalation dimethyl sulfate poisoning, and guide clinicians to make effective measures in time. Dimethyl sulfate poisoning progresses rapidly and dangerously. The prognosis is usually better if the patients are separated from the toxic environment as soon as possible, given glucocorticoids in early and short-term, closely observed respiratory tract injury, and treated with endotracheal intubation and invasive mechanical ventilation when necessary.

Objective@#To establish a method to detect the concentrations of dimethyl sulfate in the air of workplace by GC-MS.@*Methods@#DMS in the air of workplace adsorpted by Silicone tube, then desorped by acetone, add 1.0 ml of acetone, shake 1 min, placed after 30 min, the desorption solution qualitative and quantitative determination by gas chromatography-mass.@*Results@#The calibration curves were liner in the range of 0.1-200.0 μg/ml. The within-run and between-run precisions were 2.6%-4.7% and 4.0%-9.0% respectively. The method detection limit is 0.1 μg/ml, the minimum detectable concentration is 0.02 mg/m3 (in terms of sampling 4.5 L) . Add 1 ml of desorption liquid, place 30 min, the average desorption efficiency of more than 90%.@*Conclusion@#This method has simple pretreatment, short analysis period, and optimized linear rage and limit of detection, and is suitable for the determination of DMS in workplace air.
