Petroleum ether is a fraction of petroleum that contains aliphatic hydrocarbons. It serves as a laboratory solvent because of its low boiling point and non-polar characteristics.
Application
Petroleum ether can be used as a solvent for extracting:
- Soluble compounds from the mushroom samples.
- Carotenoids from the marine Thraustochytrium sp.ONC-T18.

The effects of 3 weeks' or 6 months' inhalation exposure of rats to aromatic white spirit 6 h/day, 5 days/week at 0, 400, or 800 ppm were studied. Synaptosomal neurochemistry was investigated as index of the in situ conditions in

Numerous studies have suggested that long-term occupational exposure to white spirit may cause chronic toxic encephalopathy (WHO 1996). This review summarizes the chronic nervous system effects of white spirit in animal studies during a 30-year period. First, routine histopathology was

Female rats were exposed to white spirit (400 and 800 ppm for 6 hr/day) at day 7-20 during pregnancy. Thirty-five days after birth all female offspring were sacrificed, the brains removed, and the synaptosomal fractions prepared for in vitro studies.

This study compares the toxicokinetics of inhaled 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene (124TMB) in men exposed to white spirit with that previously observed in the same individuals exposed to 124TMB alone. The appropriateness of using dimethylhippuric acid (DMHA) metabolites of 124-, 123- and 135TMB
