Abstract in Portuguese
O n-hexano é um solvente usado industrialmente, e pode causar neuropatia periférica. O indicador biológico da exposição ocupacional ao n-hexano é a 2,5-hexanodiona (2,5HD). O objetivo deste estudo foi validar um método para determinação da 2,5HD urinária por cromatografia em fase gasosa, com detetor de ionização de chama. A validação do método levou em consideração dois tipos de tratamento da amostra, com hidrólise ácida e sem hidrólise ácida. Foi utilizada coluna HP1 (15m x 530µm e espessura do filme 1,5µm), gás de arraste He:4,2mL/min. e ciclohexanona como padrão interno. O método apresentou limites de detecção e quantificação, respectivamente 0,05 e 0,1 mg/L, linearidade de 0,1-20mg/mL, r = 0,999, recuperação entre 98-102%, com precisão e exatidão. Para verificar a aplicação do método foram analisadas 87 amostras de trabalhadores de indústrias de calçados (52 do grupo exposto e 35 do grupo controle). As amostras com hidrólise apresentaram níveis de 2,5HD cerca de dez vezes maiores quando comparados com as amostras sem hidrólise, esta diferença foi estatisticamente significante (p<0,0001), mas os níveis de 2,5HD não ultrapassaram o índice Biológico Máximo Permitido (IBMP) de 5mg/g de creatinina, em nenhuma das amostras analisadas. Os resultados indicam que o método validado mostrou aplicação prática para monitorização biológica, e as amostras que passaram pelo tratamento de hidrólise ácida apresentaram maiores níveis de detecção.

Abstract in English
N-hexane is a solvent used in industries, and can cause peripheral neuropathy. The bioindicator in the biological monitoring of workers exposed to n-hexane is the 2,5-hexanedione (2,5HD). This study was developed in order to validate a method for 2,5HD analysis in urine by gas chromatography with flame ionization detector considering two types of sample preparing with and without acid hydrolysis. The chosen technique was performed with HP1 column measured 15m by 530µm inner bore. Helio was used as the carrier gas at a flow rate of 4,2mL/min. The detection and quantification limits were respectively 0,05 and 0,1 mg/L. A linear relationship (r = 0,999) was observed in the range from 0,1-20mg/mL. The average recovery was 98-102%, with precision and accuracy. To apply this method, 87 samples from shoe factory workers were analyzed (52 exposed group and 35 control group). The samples with acid hydrolysis show levels ten times higher than samples without acid hydrolysis. This difference was statistically significant (p<0,0001), but this levels weren't higher than the Biological Exposure Index (BEI) were recommended value is 5mg/g creatinine, in any of the analyzed samples. These results reveal that the validated method has application for biological monitoring, and the samples with acid hydrolysis showed rates higher than the samples without hydrolysis.
