trans,trans-Muconic Acid (ttMA) in urine by UV – FAST (code Z23210) – 100 tests package. INSIGHTS t,t- Muconic Acid (t,t-MA) is proposed as a valid, sensitive and reliable biological marker for workers exposed to Benzene. It is a chemical frequently present in mineral oils and it is easily formed in combustion processes. There is therefore an important polluting risk. Its levels in the atmosphere can easily increase because of combustions of carbon and petrol, stocking and leakages of benzene, vehicles exhaustions and evaporations from gas distributors. Acute benzene exposition can cause vertigo, sleepiness, dizziness, tachycardia, tremors, confusion or unconsciousness or even death. It was demonstrated that Benzene has toxic effects on the erythropoiesis process and was identified as carcinogenic, can cause anemia, bleeding and can damage the immune system and reproductive organs. Principle of the Method: trans,trans-MUCONIC Acid is diluted with a suitable diluent and after purification in a clean up column it is injected into the HPLC System.
