Studies on Selenium Related Compounds. I. The Determination of Selenium by Gas Chromatography

Determination of Selenium in Ion Chromatography Bulk Prednisolone by

A method for the determination of selenium by ion chromatography (IC) after oxygen flask combustion has been developed and applied to the determination of selenium in bulk prednisolone. We found elemental selenium [Se(0)], selenite ion [Se(IV)] and selenate ion [Se(VI)] (ca. 5, 75 and 20%) in the absorbing liquid obtained by oxygen flask combustion of Se(0), Se(IV) and Se(VI). Se(VI) was direct...

Determination of selenium in biological materials by stable isotope dilution gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.

Selenium Compounds

Selenium is a naturally occurring substance that is toxic at high concentrations but is also a nutritionally essential element. Hydrogen selenide is the most acutely toxic selenium compound. Acute (short-term) exposure to elemental selenium, hydrogen selenide, and selenium dioxide by inhalation results primarily in respiratory effects, such as irritation of the mucous membranes, pulmonary edema...

Low-level Selenium Determination

Introduction Selenium is an essential element to human health at low levels (2080 μg/L), but becomes toxic at elevated levels. Selenium exists in different forms that determine its toxicity and bioavailability. Current research is now focusing on the determination of individual selenium species or seleniumcontaining compounds. This can be done using ICP-MS as a selenium-specific detector for a ...

Selenium compounds for fish health: An update

Oxidative stress has become an important subject for terrestrial and aquatic toxicology. The trace element selenium has been demonstrated in chemo-prevention and drug-resistance through reduction of oxidative stress. Selenium compounds could prevent damage to the unsaturated fatty acid of subcellular membranes by lipid peroxidation induced by free radicals in fish.
