Summary
For the title compounds 4,4′-DADPM, MOCA, 3,3′-DCB, 4-ADP and 4-ADPA listing on the EPA priority pollutant list, an analytical practicable, reliable, reproducible and sensitive procedure is required. Therefore a new method has been developed for the routine determination of these toxic aromatic amines in urine at the ppb level. The quantitative determination of amines is a suitable procedure of occupationally exposed persons. Urine sample preparation is done using simple liquid-liquid extraction followed by a precolumn enrichment (PRP1-material; Hamilton). Breakthrough measurements were done using an enrichment column packed with PRP1 material. The capacities of the studied amines ranged from 21.9mg/g to 96.6mg/g, while influent concentrations differed from 28.3mg/l to 332.0mg/l. The advantages of electrochemical detection regarding to selectivity and sensitivity are clearly indicated in this paper. Separation has been achieved applying reversed-phase-high-performance-liquid chromatography (LiChrosorb RP 18/5μm) followed by electrochemical or UV-detection. The detection limits employing an electrochemical detector at a potential of 1 V range from 2.2ng to 12.1ng. UV detection at 254 nm and 280 nm is about 10–100 times less sensitive. Recoveries from spiked water samples at the 5ppb levels were 75% to 96% respectively. The standard deviation of the developed procedure varies from 5.3% to 14%. Day-to-day repeatability is good.
