DTPA

Diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA) possesses amine and carboxylic acid functional groups and could form octadentate complexes with heavy metals. It is used as a chelator to determine metal bioavailability in soil to plants and mobility to the aquatic environment.

Cardiac nuclear imaging using Tc -red blood cells can measure the fraction of blood pumped by the heart during each beat. Tc -DTPA and sodium (9-iodohippurate, C H INNaO, are used to measure renal function of the kidney. The enhanced or diminished uptake of... 

Elaborate precautions must be taken to prevent the entrance of Pu iato the worker s body by ingestion, inhalation, or entry through the skin, because all common Pu isotopes except for Pu ate a-emitters. Pu is a P-emitter, but it decays to Am, which emits both (X- and y-rays. Acute intake of Pu, from ingestion or a wound, thus mandates prompt and aggressive medical intervention to remove as much Pu as possible before it deposits in the body. Subcutaneous deposition of plutonium from a puncture wound has been effectively controlled by prompt surgical excision followed by prolonged intravenous chelation therapy with diethylenetriaminepentaacetate (Ca " —DTPA) (171). 

Chelants at concentrations of 0.1 to 0.2% improve the oxidative stabiUty through the complexation of the trace metal ions, eg, iron, which cataly2e the oxidative processes. Examples of the chelants commonly used are pentasodium diethylenetriarninepentaacetic acid (DTPA), tetrasodium ethylenediarninetetraacetic acid (EDTA), sodium etidronate (EHDP), and citric acid. Magnesium siUcate, formed in wet soap through the reaction of magnesium and siUcate ions, is another chelant commonly used in simple soap bars. 

Alkaline-earth metals are often deterruined volumetricaHy by complexometric titration at pH 10, using Eriochrome Black T as indicator. The most suitable complexing titrant for barium ion is a solution of diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA). Other alkaline earths, if present, are simultaneously titrated, and in the favored analytical procedure calcium and strontium are deterruined separately by atomic absorption spectrophotometry, and their values subtracted from the total to obtain the barium value. 

Sodium formate (anhydrous) [141-53-7J M 68.0, m 253°, d 1.92. A saturated aqueous solution at 90° (0.8mL water/g) was filtered and allowed to cool slowly. (The final temperature was above 30° to prevent formation of the hydrate.) After two such crystns the crystals were dried in an oven at 130°, then under high vacuum. [Westrum, Chang and Levitin J Phys Chem 64 1553 I960-, Roecker and Meyer J Am Chem Soc 108 4066 1986.] The salt has also been recrystd twice from ImM DTPA (diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid which was recrystd 4x from MilliQ water and dried in a vac), then twice from water [Bielski and Thomas J Am Chem Soc 109 7761 1987].

Metals may also be linked through an oxygen or nitrogen atom to form a stable metal complex without a carbon-metal bond. These include metal complexes of ethylenediamine tetraacetate (EDTA), diethylenetriamine pentaacetate (DTPA), or ethylenediamine tetramethylphosphonate (EDTMP). Metalloid compounds include antimonyl gluconate and bismuth salicylate. 

One example, a candidate matrix material of organotin species in marine water, had stability determined by storage for 120 days at 4°C in the dark, at ambient temperature, and exposed to daylight (Quevauviller and Donard 1991). Frequently storage at different temperatures over at least a i-year period are reported. Examples include organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) in BCR CRM 430, where pork fat was stored at -2o°C, -i-20°C, and -r37°C (van der Paauw et al. 1992). Storage at -20°C, -i-20°C, and -i-4o°C was performed for total and methyl Hg in BCR CRMs 463 and 464, tuna fish (Quevauviller et al. 1994), and metals in BCR CRM 600, EDTA and DTPA-extractable trace metal contents in calcareous soil (Quevauviller et al. 1998m).
