벤젠 노출의 생물학적 노출인 인체 소변 중 뮤콘산(trans, trans-muconic acid) 분석을 위한 녹색 HPLC (Highr performance liquid chromatography) 분석방법을 개발하고 검증하였다. 이온교환수지 고상추출 카트리지를 사용하여 소변 중 뮤콘산을 추출하고, MF-Ph1 SG80 (
An environmentally friendly, so-called green, high performance liquid chromatography method was developed and validated for the determination of trans, trans-muconic acid (t,t-MA) in human urine as a biomarker of benzene exposure. After urinary t,t-MA was extracted and enriched using solid-phase extraction, a MF-Ph1 SG80(150 mm×2.0 mm I.D., 5 μm) column with a mobile phase of 10 mM KH2PO4 containing 0.1% H3PO4 was used for isocratic separation of t,t-MA with UV detection at 259 nm. The calibration curve was constructed in the range of 0.1-5.0 mg/L with good linearity (r2=0.9992). The intra-day and inter-day precision (as RSD) were 0.9-8.5%and 3.1-4.5%, respectively. The average recovery ranged from 97.5% to 101.7%. The green sample preparation and separation with no organic solvents were successfully achieved. The validated method would be suitable for the routine biological monitoring of benzene exposure in the occupational settings.
