[Alkyl derivatives of benzene, indene, naphthalene, diphenyl and fluorene as a potential source of occupational and environmental exposure].

Abstract:

:Mixtures of organic solvents are used extensively in industry. The aim of this study was to develop a method for the determination of components of commercial multi-component solvent mixtures, and to perform qualitative and quantitative analyses of the mixtures. Farbasol, Solvesso and Shellsol mixtures were analysed by gas chromatography with a mass spectrometry detector (GC/MS). The composition of mixtures was determined using the mass spectrum computer analysis. Fractions of alkyl benzene, naphthalene and diphenyl derivatives were isolated. The proportions of the individual fractions in the mixtures differed. A predominant fraction was present in each mixture. Solvents (trimethylbenzene, tetramethylbenzene, ethyltoluene, diethylbenzene, isopropylotoulene) which significantly increase health risk due to their suspected neurotoxicity, were identified in each mixture.
