This is a new method for isolating and concentrating urinary organic acids before gas chromatography--mass spectrometry. Sulfate and phosphate anions are removed by precipitation with Ba(OH)2, and the urine pH is adjusted to 8-8.5. The sample is then applied onto
Spontaneous ignition, explosion, and fire with sevoflurane and barium hydroxide lime.

Desflurane, enflurane and isoflurane can be degraded to carbon monoxide (CO) by carbon dioxide absorbents, whereas sevoflurane and halothane form negligible amounts of CO. Carbon monoxide formation is greater with drier absorbent, and with barium hydroxide, than with soda lime.
