The specific, precise detection of volatile metal chelates has been obtained by coupling the effluent from a gas chromatograph directly to the burner head of a commerical atomic absorption spectrometer (AAS). Quantitation of chromium in the nanogram range has been accomplished with a detection limit of 1.0 ng. The chelation-extraction-gas chromatographic separation procedure coupled with the selective detection by AAS gives a relatively interference-free system that has been used to quantitatively analyse for chromium in standard biological materials NBS SRM 1571 Orchard Leaves and SRM 1569 Brewers Yeast. Metal chelates of iron, copper and cobalt have also been detected by this system.

1,2-Diaminobenzene and its derivatives react with selenous acid in acidic solution to form the piazselenols, which can be extracted into toluene. Microgram amounts of selenium can be determined spectrophotometrically by measuring the absorbance of these piazselenols extracted into toluene. A more sensitive method, in which the piazselenols extracted into toluene are detected by electron-capture gas chromatography, has been developed. In order to find a more sensitive reagent, 13 piazselenols were synthesized. The retention behaviour and sensitivity in electron-capture detection gas chromatography and the distribution ratios between aqueous solution and toluene were studied for each piazselenol extracted into toluene. Of these piazselenols, 4,6-dibromopiazselenol, formed by the reaction of 1,2-diamino-3,5-dibromobenzene with selenous acid, was found to be best as regards sensitivity and distribution ratio. Under the optimal conditions for the formation and the extraction of the piazselenol, the practical detection limit was 1 ng. Selenium(VI) and total selenium in NBS Bovine Liver, SRM 1577, were determined successfully.

To obtain insight into the identity of chemicals associated with the mutagenicity of United States National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Standard Reference Materials SRM 1649 (urban dust) and SRM 1650 (diesel particulate), parallel mutagenicity tests and chemical analyses were performed on dichloromethane and sequential organic extracts of these samples. SRM 1649 and 1650 were sequentially extracted with five organic solvents of increasing polarity, in order to partition mutagenic components into discrete fractions. The solvents (with associated polarity index) were as follows: (1) hexane (0.0); (2) hexane:diethyl ether 9:1 (0.29); (3) hexane:diethyl ether 1:1 (1.45); (4) diethyl ether (2.9); (5) methanol (6.6). 0.9270 g of SRM 1649, and 0.0510 g of SRM 1650 were each extracted three times with 8 ml of each of the solvents, the three aliquots were pooled, and analysed for target organics or solvent-exchanged into DMSO for mutagenicity testing in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA98 and TA100. The dichloromethane extracts of SRM 1649 and SRM 1650 contained direct-acting mutagens in Salmonella strains TA98 and TA100; SRM 1650 was significantly more potent than SRM 1649 in either strain. Addition of S9 caused a large decrease in mutagenicity of each extract, although SRM 1650 remained more potent. An interesting pattern of mutagenicity was observed for the sequential extracts of SRM 1649 and SRM 1650: the mutagenic potency of SRM 1649 extracts increased with increasing polarity of the extraction solvent while the response of the SRM 1650 extracts was the opposite. This suggests that the direct-acting mutagens in SRM 1650 are unlike those in SRM 1649. The response, though diminished, was largely unchanged when S9 was included in the test mixture. Chemical analyses on the various extracts were performed using a Hewlett-Packard model 5890 gas chromatograph equipped with a model 5970B mass selective detector (GC-MSD), and a 0.3 microns film thickness cross-linked methyl silicone capillary column (HP 1909A-101). Selected ion monitoring (SIM) methods were used to analyze for 105 target compounds including PAHs and nitro-PAHs. Chemical analysis of the dichloromethane extracts of SRM 1649 and SRM 1650 identified three main classes of compounds: polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), nitro-polyaromatic hydrocarbons (NO2-PAHs) and heterocyclics. The concentration of target compounds and the proportion of nitro-PAHs and heterocyclic compounds were considerably greater in SRM 1650 than in SRM 1649, consistent with the observed differences in their mutagenic potency. However, the different responses of the dichloromethane extracts in TA98 and TA100 suggest the presence of different (unidentified) compounds.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

The mutagenicity of SRM 1649 and 1650 was tested in the presence of rat liver S9 mix which was induced by polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) or by the combination of phenobarbital and 5,6-benzoflavone. The S9 mix induced by PCB activated benzo[a]pyrene strongly. The S9 mix induced by phenobarbital-5,6-benzoflavone activated the complex mixtures to approximately the same extent as that induced by PCB. This finding indicates that phenobarbital-5,6-benzoflavone instead of PCB may be suitable as an inducer under some conditions. The preincubation procedure for the mutagenicity test was performed by preincubating the test compound, S9 mix and bacteria for 20 min in a water bath. This procedure was as effective as the plate incorporation test.

A gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric method for the determination of the lipid aldehyde 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (4HNE) in trace quantities is described. The method utilizes the reaction of aldehydes with hydroxylamine leading to the formation of the oxime derivative. The aldehydes are recovered by octadecylsilyl solid-phase extraction and converted to the bis-tert.-butyldimethylsilyl derivatives for analysis using electron ionization. A novel 4HNE analogue, 3-hydroxynonanal, has been synthesized and is used as an internal standard. A limit of detection of approximately 1 pmol of 4 HNE in preparations of approximately 2.10(6) cells or 0.5 ml of whole blood, plasma or serum was observed. Standard addition analysis indicates that the method is accurate at these levels. Replicate analysis of the National Institutes of Standards and Technology Standard Reference Material SRM 909 indicates an average in-run precision of 8.1% and a between-run precision of 13.5% at an average concentration of 82.1 pmol/ml of reconstituted material.

A high performance liquid chromatographic method for the analysis of unconjugated bilirubin in neonatal serum is presented. Bilirubin was dissociated from protein with caffeine reagent and extracted with chloroform. An isocratic, reversed-phase HPLC system based on a C18 column was used. Bilirubin was detected at 450 nm. Bilirubin SRM 916a from National Institute of Standards and Technology, USA was the primary calibrator. An average recovery factor of 0.996 (SD = 0.018; N = 16) was obtained for bilirubin added to neonatal cord sera. The measurement range extended from 25 to 500 mumol l-1 L-1. The method is proposed as a reference method for unconjugated bilirubin in neonatal sera.

Since aluminum is an extremely difficult element to determine reliably in biological samples, no National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) biological standard reference material for tissue has yet been certified for aluminum. A chemical neutron activation analysis procedure employing anion-exchange chromatography was developed. The procedure proved successful in decontaminating radioactivatable sodium and chlorine and phosphorus which can produce aluminum via a fast neutron bombardment. For bovine liver (NIST SRM 1577 a) a value of 2.1 +/- 0.2 micrograms of aluminum/g of sample was determined, comparing favorably to the uncertified value 2 micrograms/g sample. For freeze-dried urine (NIST SRM 2670) a value of 0.18 +/- 0.01 micrograms of aluminum/mL of urine was observed. Its uncertified value is 0.18 micrograms of aluminum/mL of sample. Twenty three individual samples in three different human brains were analyzed for their aluminum content.

An isotope dilution gas chromatography-mass spectrometry method for selenium determination in urine using 76Se as an internal standard is described. Three different derivatizing reagents, 4-nitro-o-phenylenediamine (NPD), 3,5-dibromo-o-phenylenediamine (DBPD), and 4-trifluoromethyl-o-phenylenediamine (TFMPD) were investigated for their gas chromatographic behavior including memory and precision and accuracy of isotope ratio measurements. By these criteria, the performance of these reagents was TFMPD greater than DBPD greater than NPD. Overall precision values of 1 to 7% were observed in determining Se isotope ratios at the 10-ng level, with no significant difference in using any of the three reagents. Memory effect was observed in the order NPD greater than DBPD greater than TFMPD with TFMPD showing no measurable memory effect. Accuracy of the GC-MS method was verified by quantitation of selenium in the NIST freeze-dried urine reference material SRM 2670.
