Abstract
In the present study a head-space analysis is described for the determination of trichloroethylene and tetrachloroethylene in oils and liquid paraffin. The substances were separated on a column packed with 15% Apiezon M on Celite 545, using a temperature program. For quantitative analysis of the solvents, methyl caproate was used as an internal standard. [An oil-paraffin mixture was used for the hemodialysis of a woman who had poisoned herself with a mixture of trichlorethylene and tetrachloroethylene.].
