[Determination of phenol in the urine by means of gas chromatography]

A simple method of determination of phenol in urine was presented. The conditions of phenol combinations hydrolysis and extraction were the same as those used by Buchet (10). 2,4-dichlorophenol was used as an internal standard. The accuracy of this method for phenol concentrations in urine from 25 to 200 mg/l is +/- 8,2%. This method is specific both for the compounds excreted with physiological urine and the metabolites used in the industry of organic solvents.
