A simple method is described for concentrating ethane from large volumes of air; the sensitivity limits for detecting exhaled ethane are increased by 100-fold or more. The method is intended for monitoring low-level ethane exhalation resulting from peroxidative damage to tissue lipids in vivo. Various adsorbents for concentrating ethane and ethylene were tested; in addition, the permeability characteristics of various types of tubing were studied in order to construct a suitable, inexpensive breath collection chamber for laboratory animals. Recommended adsorbents are activated charcoal and molecular sleve; activated alumina is a poor adsorbent. Polyvinyl and Teflon tubing are impermeable, whereas latex and silicone tubing are permeable to ethane. When ethane and ethylene are injected intraperitoneally into mice, the exhalation of these volatile hydrocarbons is readily monitored in the breath collection chamber. Whereas ethylene and the C3–C5alkanes probably are metabolized by mice, ethane apparently is not; however, a portion of the ethane appears to be trapped by absorption within body tissues.
