Abstract

Occupational exposure to 4,4'-methylenediphenyl diisocyanate (MDI) was measured during moulding of rigid polyurethane foam. The aim of the study was to find out whether an MDI-derived urinary amine metabolite could be detected in the urine of workers exposed to apparently low levels of MDI. Airborne MDI was sampled on 1-(2-methoxyphenyl)-piperazine (2MP)-impregnated glass fibre filters and determined by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) using ultraviolet (UV) and electrochemical (EC) detection. The limit of detection of MDI was 3 ng ml-1 for a 20 microliters injection. The precision of sample preparation, expressed as relative standard deviation (RSD), was 1.3% with UV detection and 2.1% with EC detection at a concentration of 70 ng MDI ml-1 (n = 6). The 2MP-MDI derivative was stable at +4 degrees C up to eight weeks. The accuracy of the method was validated in an international quality control programme. Workers (n = 57) from three different factories participated in the study. Urinary 4,4'-methylenedianiline (MDA) metabolite was determined after acid hydrolysis as heptafluorobutyric anhydride derivatives by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry using chemical ionisation and monitoring negative ions. The limit of det...Continue Reading
