Summary, in English

A gas chromatography-negative ion chemical ionization-selected ion monitoring-mass spectrometry (GC-NICI-SIM-MS) method was used to quantitate the metabolite toluene diamine (TDA) in urine samples of toluene diisocyanate (TDI) exposed workers. In order to validate the biological monitoring method, air samples were collected and analyzed using a liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS) method. The urine samples were treated with liquid-liquid extraction to retrieve the toluene diamine (TDA). It was observed that urinary TDA levels were applicable fro biological monitoring of TDI exposure.
