The present study was conducted to assess the carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic health risks of PAHs contamination in roasted plantain collected from three different locations within Osogbo metropolis, Nigeria. The PAHs were extracted using Soxhlet extraction technique with n-hexane and dichloromethane (3:1) as the extracting solvent. A column, packed with silica gel, was used for clean-up process and the levels of the targeted PAHs were determined by a gas chromatograph–flame ionization detector (GC-FID). The result revealed that the concentrations of total PAHs detected in the roasted samples at location A, B, C were 3.958 μg/kg, 3.654 μg/kg and 3.217 μg/kg. The HMW carcinogenic PAHs constitute about 32% of the total PAHs in the roasted plantain samples where benzo(a)pyrene, which is a marker for carcinogenicity, was found to be 9%. Comparing these results with the regulatory limits, all the analyzed roasted plantain samples were found below the maximum residual limit (MRL) of 5 μg/kg, but the calculated carcinogenic risk (CR) presented value greater than 1×10-4, signifying health risk associated with the consumption of the roasted plantain. The major source of the PAHs using diagnostic ratios (Fla/Pyr and Ph/Ant) showed that the charcoal used in roasting is a major contributing factor to the high levels of PAHs detected in the roasted plantain samples.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are emerging ubiquitous environmental pollutants with reported carcinogenic, mutagenic and teratogenic potentials on living organisms and humans. The objective of this study was to assess the concentrations of PAHs in agricultural soils of Tsekelewu Community and environs (Egbema Kingdom) in Warri North Local Government Area of Delta State, Nigeria impacted by gas flaring using gas chromatograph system Agilent 5890 Series 11 gas chromatograph equipped with Flame ionization detector (GC-FID). The results revealed that station 1 and 2 were fairly contaminated; with mean total PAH concentration of 236.40 μg/kg and 279.75 μg/kg respectively. Stations 3, 4, 6, 7 and 9 having mean total PAH concentration of 692.45μg/kg, 726.22 μg/kg, 739.82 μg/kg, 609.38 μg/kg, and 772.99 μg/kg were moderately contaminated. Heavy contamination was recorded in station 5 and station 8 with mean PAH concentrations of 1231.08μg/kg and 1224.33 μg/kg. The dominant PAHs in soil samples were benzo(a)anthracene, phananthrene and chrysene with benzo(a)anthracene having the highest concentration across all sample stations. The PAH concentration observed in this study is thus a serious cause for concern since soil contamination from gas flaring will likely continue. Measures that will attenuate PAHs concentrations in soil should be adopted as farmers are likely exposed by largely inhalation.Keywords: Hydrocarbons; Contamination; Agricultural soils; Gas flaring

AbstractA gas chromatographic method was developed for the determination of N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) in cigarette smoke. The NDMA in the smoke of 200 cigarettes was trapped in a solution of sodium hydroxide and separated from most of the smoke components by distillation from acidic and basic solutions. The aqueous solution was extracted for 8 hr. into ethyl ether in a Dean Stark apparatus. To concentrate the solution of NDMA, the ether was distilled until only 5 ml of the solution remained. An aliquot of this solution was analysed by means of a gas chromatograph equipped with a 200-ft. glass capillary column coated with Carbowax 20-M poly(ethylene glycoI). An alkali metal flame ionization detector with a selectivity of 10*/1 for nitrogen compounds to normal hydrocarbons was used. Small amounts (2 ng) of nitrosamines in the presence of large amounts of other compounds were easily detected. N-nitrosodimethylamine-C

Gas Chromatographic Method

Abstract We describe a modified gas-chromatographic method for acetate in serum or plasma, intended for use in the investigation of acetate intolerance in hemodialysis patients. The assay may be adapted for use with a single-column gas chromatograph equipped with a flame ionization detector. The analysis, made isothermally, requires only 0.5 ml of plasma or serum. Only one deproteinizing step is required to prepare the sample for analysis. Additionally, we present preliminary findings of an ongoing acetate-intolerance study.

Abstract In this method for detection and quantification of volatile alcohols by capillary gas chromatography, the serum sample is deproteinized, then directly injected into the gas chromatograph with 1-propanol as the internal standard. The capillary column is a 30-m bonded methylsilicone-coated, fused-silica column. With helium as the carrier gas, the injector inlet is set at a split ratio of 1/30 and the average linear velocity in the column is 25 cm/s. Injector and flame-ionization detector temperatures are 280 degrees C, oven temperature 35 degrees C. Chromatography time is less than 3 min.

Abstract A rapid, specific method for methanol in aqueous and nonaqueous liquids has been developed and studied collaboratively. The method involves sample dilution with dioxane to approximately 0.4% methanol and injection into a gas chromatograph fitted with a Porapak R column and a flame ionization detector. A collaborative study, with 7 collaborators each reporting on 6 test portions, showed coefficients of variation of 2.7, 2.1, 2.3, 4.2, 1.8, and 3.5. The method has been adopted as official first action.

Abstract An extremely simple, rapid method is described for simultaneously determining methanol, ethanol, acetone, isopropanol, and low-boiling hydrocarbons associated with glue sniffing. Less than 1 µl of blood, mixed with an internal standard, is injected directly into a low-cost gas chromatograph equipped with a flame-ionization detector. No extraction, distillation, and (or) sample preparation is required, and the method is sensitive to less than 10 µg of alcohol per ml.

Abstract A rapid and simple method of analysis has been developed for sorbitol in cooked sausage products. Sorbitol is extracted from cooked sausage products with water, an aliquot of the extract is freeze-dried, and the trimethylsilyl (TMS) derivative of sorbitol is formed. An aliquot of the TMS-sorbitol is injected into a gas chromatograph and measured by a flame ionization detector. Analysis of fortified samples shows that the recovery compares well with known amounts of sorbitol added.
