| Abstract | A gradient ultra-performance liquid chromatographic (UPLC) assay coupled with the two dimensional separation and diode array detection method was developed to determine S-phenylmercapturic acid (SPMA), a specific urinary metabolite of benzene. Gradient separation was performed on two C18 core–shell columns (2.6 and 1.7 μm, 50 × 2.1 mm i.d.) maintained at 40 and 20 °C. Among various solvents evaluated, dichloromethane which offered >85% recovery rates of both SPMA and D-benzylmercapturic acid (internal standard) was used for extraction. The yield of free-SPMA was maximized by hydrolyzing 200 μL of urine with 20 μL of 6 M HCl prior to dichloromethane extraction. The limit of detection was 1 μg L−1(s/n = 5) and the limit of quantification was 2 μg L−1. Using our method, a correlation of 0.99 was obtained with 10 specimens (range, 1.7 to 182 μg L−1) from the German External Quality Assessment Scheme. Among the 75 non-occupational exposure individuals, 61 (81%) had SPMA levels below the LOQ. Among the 26 male petroleum workers, 5 who were exposed to <0.04 ppm of benzene were found to have SPMA levels below the LOQ. The geometric means obtained from the other 15 non-smokers and 6 smokers who were exposed to <0.5 ppm of benzene were 5.05 and 6.65 μg g−1creatinine, respectively. The proposed method can be useful for occupational benzene exposure surveillance. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
