Abstract: | Data on Liquid Gas Chromatographic method for detection of the acetic acid after etherification in the cadaveric organs are presented. The results of quantitative acetic acid determination in the cadaveric organs by LGC method after etherification are influenced upon by its "background" values. Acetic acid concentration in the cadaveric organs of subjects who died from the cause other than acetic acid poisoning is within the limits 0.1-0.21 g (mean value 0.17 g) in 100 g of the stomach and 0.07-0.13 g (mean value 0.11 g) in 100 g of the liver. Method may be used in expert practice to determine acetic acid poisoning with due regard for its "background" concentrations in the organs. |
