The use of permanent hair dyes or the occupational exposure to these cosmetic products has recently been discussed because of a possible l i n k to adverse long term effects l i k e genetic effects or carcinogenic effects (1, 2, 3). Epidemiological studies seem to indicate an overrepresentation of lung and breast cancer among occupationally exposed people ( 3). Previously, 2,4-diaminotoluene (TDA), a very common product in hair dyes, has been proven to be an animal carcinogen after oral administration and subcutaneous injection (4). The hair dyes consist of quite complex mixtures of a variety of ingredients, and are usually sold as two-component systems. One component is an oxidation agent, usually hydrogen peroxide. The other component is a mixture of vegetable and animal fats, detergents and aromatics holding oxidizable amino- and hydroxyl groups, which produce coloured pigments on oxidation. From a toxicological point of view much interest has been focused on a number of aromatic diamines used in most permanent hair dyes. S e v e r a l methods have been used f o r the a n a l y s i s o f aromatic diamines, i n c l u d i n g t h i n - l a y e r chromatography (TLC) (5., 6_, χ, 8.), paper chromatography (£) and gas chromatography (GC) (7.). Diaminotoluene isomers have been separated by GC (10, 11,12). T h i n - l a y e r chromatography w i t h f l u o r o m e t r i c d e t e c t i o n has been reported as a s e n s i t i v e method f o r 2 , 6 - and 2,U-TDA i n urethane foams (13). Unger and Friedman (ik) were s u c c e s s f u l i n s e p a r a t i n g t h e 2 , 6 - and 2 , U TDA by adsorption chromatography on a s i l i c a column. The lengthy rééquilibrâtion and d i f f i c u l t i e s i n c o n t r o l l i n g the amount o f water i n the eluent are wellknown w i t h t h i s mode o f chromatography. Turchetto et al. (15.) had some success w i t h the separation o f v a r i o u s diamines employing p o l a r bonded phases and gradient e l u t i o n . From the p u b l i s h e d chromatograms i t i s seen t h a t one o f t h e i r systems showed very low e f f i c i e n c y . The n e c e s s i t y o f rééquilibrâting the column a f t e r each gradient run makes t h i s approach time-consuming. 0097-6156/81/0149-0401 $05.00/ 0 © 1981 American Chemical Society

For the f u r t h e r work the CN-column was chosen w i t h a mobile phase composition o f 86.Î+/13.6 w/w % hexanes/ethanol, since t h i s system could r e s o l v e a l l the standards without g i v i n g excessive r e t e n t i o n times. Figure 3 shows the separation o f the standard substances. More t a i l i n g i s noted f o r the 2,5~TDA than w i t h the column t e s t procedure d e s c r i b e d e a r l i e r and i t i s l i k e l y t h a t the chemical matching column vs eluent composition and sample can be improved.

Moreover, the s e n s i t i v i t y can be i n c r e a s e d by u s i n g a wavelength i n the lower UV-range. However, one should be aware o f the f a c t , t h a t when measuring on an edge of the UV-spectrum the broad s p e c t r a l bandpass o f these instruments might cause d e v i a t i o n s from l i n e a r i t y already at low absorbance values. Figure k shows c a l i b r a t i o n curves measured as the peak absorbance at 235 nm. This shows good l i n e a r i t y and h i g h s e n s i t i v i t y f o r a l l substances.

C H E M I C A L HAZARDS IN

THE

WORKPLACE

f a t s and detergents have l i t t l e or no UV-absorbance at t h i s wavel e n g t h and are thus not detected. In Figure 5 the chromatogram i s r a t h e r clean i n the solvent f r o n t and t h i s might be e x p l a i n e d as above. In both dyes ( i ) and (IV) r e s o r c i n o l and 2,5- IDA c o u l d be i d e n t i f i e d , and these e l u t e as peaks 2 and k i n both chromâtοgrams. Peak 3 i n both F i g u r e 5 and Figure 6 i s the same substance s i n c e a b s o r p t i o n r a t i o s and r e t e n t i o n volumes c o i n c i d e . The unknown peak 1 i n Figure 5 i s not found i n dye (IV) but i t was found i n seve­ r a l other dyes. Table I I shows the substances i d e n t i f i e d and amounts d e t e r ­ mined i n the v a r i o u s dye samples. R e s o r c i n o l and 2,5-TDA were found i n most samples. The i d e n t i f i c a t i o n of α-naphthol i n sample (V) i s somewhat u n c e r t a i n since i t was found t h a t the absorbance r a t i o s were not independent o f the c o n c e n t r a t i o n f o r t h i s sub­ stance. In g e n e r a l , few peaks could be seen on chromatographing a l l the samples and the same simple p a t t e r n showed up w i t h s e v e r a l dyes. As regards the q u a n t i t a t i v e determination i t remains t o be i n v e s t i g a t e d to what extent inhomogeneity i n the sample tubes i n ­ fluences the r e s u l t . Batch t o batch v a r i a t i o n s from the manufac­ t u r e may a l s o occur. Conclusions A simple and r a p i d method f o r the a n a l y s i s o f h a i r dyes has been developed. Owing t o low wavelength UV-detection high s e n s i ­ t i v i t y i s achieved w i t h d e t e c t i o n l i m i t s w e l l below 10 ng and at the same time f a t s and detergents i n the dyes do not i n t e r f e r e w i t h the d e t e c t i o n . The simple d i s s o l u t i o n procedure p o s s i b l e together w i t h the chromatographic system used i s an advantage i n comparison w i t h lengthy and u n c e r t a i n e x t r a c t i o n s . I d e n t i f i c a t i o n i s c o n s i d e r a b l y improved by the use o f m u l t i wavelength d e t e c t i o n and absorbance r a t i o i n g . I t was p o s s i b l e t o analyse some commercial h a i r dyes w i t h the method d e s c r i b e d here. However, s e v e r a l substances were found t h a t c o u l d not be i d e n t i ­ f i e d w i t h the present standard substances. Recent r e s u l t s i n t h i s l a b o r a t o r y make a p o s s i b l e improvement o f the chromatography pro­ bable. Future work w i l l consider t h i s aspect and an increased number o f standard substances (17) w i l l be examined. Acknowledgment s This work was
