I report how some adulterants affect results for drugs of abuse in urine as measured by Roche RIA, Syva emit d.a.u., and Abbott TDx fpia (fluorescence polarization immunoassay) for the following drugs: amphetamines, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, cannabinoids, cocaine, opiates, and phencyclidine (PCP). Sodium chloride interfered negatively with all of these drugs when assayed by emit and caused a slight decrease in measured benzodiazepine concentration by fpia. Drug concentrations were also decreased by added H2O2 (emit: benzodiazepine), Joy detergent (emit: cannabinoid, benzodiazepines, PCP), NaHCO3 (emit: opiate; fpia: PCP), or NaClO [corrected] (emit, RIA, fpia: amphetamines, opiates, PCP; emit, fpia: cannabinoid; emit: benzodiazepines). False-positive results were caused by H2O2 (fpia: benzodiazepines) and Joy (RIA, fpia: benzodiazepine, cannabinoid; fpia: barbiturate, amphetamine). Sodium bicarbonate causes a suspiciously high pH in the urine, NaClO [corrected] an apparently low pH (using pH paper).

Pd/C catalyst was prepared by hydrogen reduction method and used for the Pd/C gas-diffusion electrode. It was characterized by cyclic voltammetry (CV) techniques. The electrochemical degradation of sodium pentachlorophenol (PCP-Na) was investigated in a diaphragm electrolysis device, feeding firstly with hydrogen gas then with air, using the Pd/C gas-diffusion electrode and the carbon/polytetrafluoroethylene (C/PTFE) gas-diffusion electrode as the cathode, respectively. The results indicate that the two-electron reduction from O2 to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is produced at the Pd/C gas-diffusion electrode, and the accumulated H2O2 in the cathodic compartment reach to the steady concentration of 9.8 mg/L after 100 min. The Pd/C gas-diffusion cathode can reductively dechlorinate PCP-Na by feeding hydrogen gas, and accelerate the two-electron reduction of O2 to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) by feeding air. Therefore, both the removal efficiency and the dechlorination degree of PCP-Na exceed 80% after 100 min, and the average removal efficiency of PCP-Na in terms of total organic carbon (TOC) exceeds 75% after 200 min by using Pd/C gas-diffusion cathode,which is better than that of the C/PTFE gas-diffusion cathode. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) allows identifying phenol as the dechlorination product.
