Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
We have described a simple, precise and sensitive assay of tetrachloroethylene in whole blood and tissues, suitable both for emergency cases and forensic medicine. The method employs gas chromatography and electron capture detection. The case report concerns a fatal exposure of a child to tetrachloroethylene. Concentrations of the chemical in different fluids and tissues were determined and compared to two other previously published fatalities. |
