This study presents a method of simultaneous detection both traditional and newly emerged drugs abuse in wastewater. The is based on solid phase extraction gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis. analytical separates 25 from different classes including amphetamines, cathinones, tropane alkaloids, piperazines plus ketamine, amitriptyline, diazepam morphine. In addition, newer compounds (methcathinone, mephedrone, butylone), isomers (1-(2-methoxyphenyl) piperazine, 1-(4-methoxyphenyl)...
Nyaope, a street drug commonly found in South Africa, is mixture of low grade heroin, cannabis products, antiretroviral drugs and other materials added as cutting agents. It highly physiologically addictive substance which smoked by users. Little work has been published on the chemical analysis profiling nyaope. Sample preparation prior to chromatographic or spectrometric normally involves dissolution sample an organic solvent. This study determined most suitable solvent common components...
Nyaope is a mixture of low grade heroin, cannabis products, antiretroviral drugs and other materials added as bulking agents. It highly physically additive which smoked by users. As part the development method for analysis profiling nyaope this study evaluates stability cannabinoid, opiate components during storage following seizure. Conditions used were those typically drug seizures: in desiccator refrigerator, dark at room temperature, daylight temperature ambient cabinet seizures. Street...
Nyaope, a Tswana word for mixture or ‘mish-mash’, describes drug cocktail consisting of heroin, cannabis, and on occasion other controlled substances warfarin. It is highly addictive with extremely unpleasant side effects caused by withdrawal from the drug. problem especially in townships South Africa. However, its prevalence neighbouring southern African states further afield not yet known. There currently no validated method analysis comparison nyaope. We describe gas chromatography – mass...
