It is absorbed through inhalation and through the skin causing, at high doses, skin irritation and a nephrotoxic effect. It is found in the urine of individuals professionally exposed to trichloroethylene and other chlorine solvents or in the urine of addicts which are used to sniffing solvents or in cases of voluntary/ involuntary ingestion of trichloroethylene or similar.

Principle of the Method:

This method allows to determine the Methyltrichloroacetate urine by GC-MS / headspace. Methyltrichloroacetate is first diluted and then is directly injected into GC.
