Sensitive and selective determination of metabolically formed trans -dihydrodiols and phenols of benzo[ a ]pyrene in water and urine samples by HPLC …

1998

A method has been developed to separate hydroxylated metabolites of the carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon benzo[a]pyrene, i. e. trans-4,5-, 7,8-, 9,10-dihydrodiol and 1-, 3-, 7-, and 9-phenol, by HPLC with amperometric detection employing an isocratic methanol/water eluent (70:30, v/v) containing 0.5 g/L sulfuric acid and 1 g/L lithium perchlorate. Compared with the usually applied fluorescence (λex = 265 nm, λem = 460 nm) and ultraviolet (λ = 265 nm) detection, the amperometric technique is about 2–12 times more sensitive for the determination of all metabolites investigated. The method was applied to the determination of the seven metabolites of benzo[a]pyrene in different wate…
