  • Title: Gas chromatographic and gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric determination of gasoline in a case of gasoline vapor and alcohol poisoning.
    Author: Ikebuchi J, Kotoku S, Yashiki M, Kojima T, Okada K.
    Journal: Am J Forensic Med Pathol; 1986 Jun; 7(2):146-50. PubMed ID: 3740011.
    Abstract:
    A case of fatal poisoning due to the combined effect of alcohol and gasoline following an automobile accident is described. Toxicological analyses by means of gas chromatography and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry permitted the identification and quantitation of alcohol and several hydrocarbons in the heart blood and in the gas in the lung. Great variation was found in the estimates of blood gasoline concentration, depending on which of six constituents of gasoline was chosen for quantitation. The cause of this variation is discussed, together with the possible mechanisms leading to death.
