Chromatographic determination of amines in biological fluids with special reference to the biological monitoring of isocyanates and amines. IV. Determination of 1,6-hexamethylenediamine in human urine using capillary gas chromatography and selective ion monitoring.

A capillary gas chromatographic (GC) method was developed for the determination of 1,6-hexamethylenediamine (HDA) in hydrolysed human urine. The method was based on a derivatization procedure with heptafluorobutyric anhydride. The amides formed were determined using capillary GC with selected ion monitoring in the chemical ionization mode with ammonia as reagent gas. The overall recovery was 34% for a concentration of 100 micrograms/l of HDA in urine. The minimum detectable concentration in urine was below 0.5 microgram/l. The precision of the method was 5% (n = 9). Deuterium-labelled HDA [H2NC2H2(CH2)4C2H2NH2] was used as the internal standard. A male subject was exposed to hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) for 7.5 h in a test chamber. The average air concentration of HDI was ca. 30 micrograms/m3, which corresponds to ca. 85% of the threshold limit value in Sweden (35 micrograms/m3). The half time of urinary levels of HDA was ca. 1.4 h and more than 90% of the urinary elimination was completed within 4 h after the exposure. The amount of HDA excreted in urine was ca. 10 micrograms, corresponding to ca. 10% of the estimated inhaled dose of HDI.[1]
