RESUMO

Slob, A. (1973).British Journal of Industrial Medicine,30, 390-393. A new method for determination of mandelic acid excretion at low level styrene exposure. A method is described for the determination of mandelic acid in urine. It is possible to determine styrene exposure levels in the air down to 5 mg/m3. The method is based on ethyl acetate extraction of the urine, followed by a paper chromatographic combined with a gas chromatographic separation.
