Abstract

Aims: This study was carried out to determine the methanol content of 126 white spirit samples collecting at households and reailstores in three communes where poisoning had occurred by spirit.


Methods: The methanol content in the samples was determined by gas chromatography with a flame ionization detector (FID).


Results: There were 69 in 126 samples contained methanol (about 54.8 percent). The concentration of methanol ranged from 13.6 to 233.8 mg/litter etanol 1000, lower than the maximum level according to TCVN 7043:2013.


Conclusion: The results of this study not only be used to risk assessment of methanol in spirit to human health, but also provide the administrators with more information to strengthen measures to prevent spirit poisoning containing methanol.
