RÉSUMÉ
OBJECTIVE: To establish a method for detecting dichloromethane,trichloromethane and 1,2-dichloroethane in blood by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. METHODS: Using static headspace analysis, three halogenated hydrocarbons in blood samples were separated by DB-5 MS elastic capillary column and detected by gas chromatographymass spectrometry. RESULTS: There was a good linear relationship in the selected range of dichloromethane,trichloromethane and 1,2-dichloroethane in blood. The linear correlation coefficient was greater than 0. 999 8. The detection limit and the lower limit of quantitation was 0. 19-0. 28 and 0. 64-0. 93 μg/L,respectively. The average recovery rate was 95. 1%-106. 6%. The within-run and between-run relative standard deviation was 2. 9%-4. 9% and 5. 0%-7. 0%,respectively. The samples could be preserved at room temperature or 4 ℃ for 3 days and at-8 ℃ or below for7 days. CONCLUSION: With the features of high sensitivity,precision,accuracy,easy operation and less interference,this method is suitable for detecting dichloromethane,trichloromethane and 1,2-dichloroethane in the blood.
