ABSTRACT
Hollow-fiber liquid-phase microextraction based on carrier-mediated transport for analysis of methyl hippuric acids in aqueous samples is described. Under optimized conditions, relative recoveries of 83%–98% and limits of detection of 2–3 µg L−1 were obtained, with linear calibration curves for the three isomers in the range of 10–50,000 µg L−1. The method was applied for the determination of urine samples of volunteers at various working environments.
