Po-Chen Hung et al.
Occupational and environmental medicine, 68(10), 777-782 (2011-02-01)
In this study, exposures to ethylene glycol monobutyl ether (or 2-butoxyethanol, 2-BE) in decal transfer workers in the bicycle manufacturing industry were investigated. Personal air sampling and biological monitoring were used to assess total uptake through inhalation and dermal exposure.
Peter Westh et al.
The Journal of chemical physics, 129(21), 211101-211101 (2008-12-10)
The solute (i)-solute interaction in terms of enthalpy, H(i-i) (E)=N( partial differential(2)H(E)/ partial differentialn(i) (2))=(1-x(i))( partial differential(2)H(E)/ partial differentialn(i) partial differentialx(i)), the third derivative of G, was experimentally determined using a Thermal Activity Monitor isothermal titration calorimeter for aqueous solutions
Prajakta S Palkar et al.
Toxicology and applied pharmacology, 225(1), 102-112 (2007-09-14)
Protection against a high dose of a toxicant by prior exposure to another toxicant is called heteroprotection. Our objective was to establish a heteroprotection model in RBCs. Female Sprague Dawley rats treated with an LD90 dose of 2-butoxyethanol (BE, 1500
Ilona Sperlingová et al.
Analytical and bioanalytical chemistry, 397(2), 433-438 (2009-10-02)
Ethylene glycol monobutyl ether (EGBE), an industrial solvent, is absorbed by the body not only by inhalation but also by dermal absorption (liquid or vapour). EGBE is metabolized to butoxyacetic acid (BAA). Pooled freeze-dried urine candidate reference material (RM) was
Matthew J Traynor et al.
Toxicology letters, 177(3), 151-155 (2008-03-04)
Glycol ethers are widely used in industrial and household applications because their chemical and physical properties make them versatile solvents, miscible with both water and organic media. Due to the ease with which the glycol ethers are absorbed through the
