  • Methyl Ethyl Ketone (2-Butanone)
    Methyl Ethyl Ketone (2-Butanone) 78-93-3 Hazard Summary Methyl ethyl ketone is used as a solvent. Acute (short-term) inhalation exposure to methyl ethyl ketone in humans results in irritation to the eyes, nose, and throat. Limited information is available on the chronic (long-term) effects of methyl ethyl ketone in humans. Chronic inhalation studies in animals have reported slight neurological, liver, kidney, and respiratory effects. No information is available on the developmental, reproductive, or carcinogenic effects of methyl ethyl ketone in humans. Developmental effects, including decreased fetal weight and fetal malformations, have been reported in mice and rats exposed to methyl ethyl ketone via inhalation and ingestion. EPA has classified methyl ethyl ketone as a Group D, not classifiable as to human carcinogenicity. Please Note: The main sources of information for this fact sheet are EPA's Health Effects Assessment for Methyl Ethyl Ketone (1) and EPA's Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS) (6), which contains information on inhalation chronic toxicity of methyl ethyl ketone and the RfC and oral chronic toxicity and the RfD. Uses The primary use of methyl ethyl ketone is as a solvent in processes involving gums, resins, cellulose acetate, and cellulose nitrate. (1) Methyl ethyl ketone is also used in the synthetic rubber industry, in the production of paraffin wax, and in household products such as lacquer and varnishes, paint remover, and glues. (1) Sources and Potential Exposure Methyl ethyl ketone has been detected in both indoor and outdoor air. Methyl ethyl ketone can be produced in outdoor air by the photooxidation of certain air pollutants, such as butane and other hydrocarbons.

  • Toxicological Profile for 2-Butanone Released for Public Comment in May 2019
    Toxicological Profile for 2-Butanone October 2020 2-BUTANONE ii DISCLAIMER Use of trade names is for identification only and does not imply endorsement by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, the Public Health Service, or the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. 2-BUTANONE iii FOREWORD This toxicological profile is prepared in accordance with guidelines* developed by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The original guidelines were published in the Federal Register on April 17, 1987. Each profile will be revised and republished as necessary. The ATSDR toxicological profile succinctly characterizes the toxicologic and adverse health effects information for these toxic substances described therein. Each peer-reviewed profile identifies and reviews the key literature that describes a substance's toxicologic properties. Other pertinent literature is also presented, but is described in less detail than the key studies. The profile is not intended to be an exhaustive document; however, more comprehensive sources of specialty information are referenced. The focus of the profiles is on health and toxicologic information; therefore, each toxicological profile begins with a relevance to public health discussion which would allow a public health professional to make a real-time determination of whether the presence of a particular substance in the environment poses a potential threat to human health. The adequacy of information to determine a substance's

  • References on Use of CO2 for Medical
    Some References on the Use of CO2 for Medical Entomology Survey Becker N et al. Comparison of carbon dioxide, octenol and a host-odour as mosquito attractants in the Upper Rhine Valley, Germany. Med Vet Entomol 1995;9:377-80. Abstract: Field studies were conducted in the Upper Rhine Valley to determine the responses of mosquitoes to CDC traps baited with either CO2, octenol, light or paired combinations of these. Among eight mosquito species caught, the attractant effect on trap catches was studied in the four most abundant: Aedes vexans, Ae. rossicus, Ae. cinereus and Culex pipiens. Traps baited only with light or octenol caught few mosquitoes, whereas many were caught by traps baited with CO2 alone or in combination with either of the other candidate attractants. CO2 baited traps, with or without light, caught the most Aedes. The combination of CO2 and octenol attracted most Cx pipiens, but this apparent synergy was not significant. Using a caged hamster compared to CO2 as bait in a CDC light-trap with only intermittent fan suction, the hamster attracted less mosquitoes than CO2 emitted at a rate of 225 g/h on days 1 and 2, whereas on days 3 and 4 the smell from the hamster's cage became significantly more attractive than this rate of CO2 for all species of mosquitoes.

Abstract: The attractants 1-octen-3-ol and lactic acid significantly decreased catches of Aedes aegypti in Townsville, Australia, by 50% in a controlled laboratory environment and by 100% in the field when compared to carbon dioxide baited bidirectional Fay-Prince trap catches.

    insects Article Dose–Response Assay for Synthetic Mosquito (Diptera: Culicidae) Attractant Using a High-Throughput Screening System Dae-Yun Kim 1, Theerachart Leepasert 2, Michael J. Bangs 1 and Theeraphap Chareonviriyaphap 1,* 1 Department of Entomology, Faculty of Agriculture, Kasetsart Univeristy, Bangkok 10900, Thailand; [email protected] (D.-Y.K.); [email protected] (M.J.B.) 2 Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science, Kasetsart University, Bangkok 10900, Thailand; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Simple Summary: Entomological surveillance is important to evaluate vector management inter- ventions. However, collecting adult mosquitoes using direct human bait is controversial and often discouraged because of potential infection risk. Alternatively, active and passive trapping methods are available. Female mosquitoes detect human host cues such as body heat, carbon dioxide, and other volatile body emanations using olfactory sensilla to direct movement to a host. Attractive chemical lures have been identified and evaluated using a variety of olfactometric methods to in- crease trap production and efficiency. In this study, we evaluated a simple olfactometer without need of airflow. To ‘optimize’ a commercial mosquito attractant, 10 different doses of product, the TM Biogents-lure (BG-lure ), were compared. Results showed dose-dependent responses with 0.005 g with the highest attraction for Aedes aegypti, while doses of 0.2 g and above produced a repellent Citation: Kim, D.-Y.; Leepasert, T.; response. There was no significantly different response behavior between permethrin-susceptible Bangs, M.J.; Chareonviriyaphap, T. and -resistant Ae. aegypti.

    International Conference on Materials, Environmental and Biological Engineering (MEBE 2015) Numerical simulation and optimizing of the hydrolysis reaction about methyl ethyl ketone azine Weiwen Wang*1, 2, a, Guojian Zhu1, b, Jihai Duan1, 2, c, Zisheng Zhang*1, 2, d 1College of Chemical Engineering, Qing University of Science and Technology 2Ecological Chemical Base，Qingdao, P.R.China.266042 [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] Keywords:methyl ethyl ketone azine； catalytic reaction distillation; hydrolysis reaction; Aspen plus. Abstract.The hydrolysis reaction of methyl ethyl ketone azine and the simulation of process are studied. The influence factors such as the plate number, the feed location, water and methyl ethyl ketone azine molar ratio and reflux ratio are studied respectively. The feeding method is single strand, reaction section number of the plates is 25, feed position is 4, water and methyl ethyl ketone azine molar ratio of 9, the reflux ratio is 5. At this point the conversion percent of MEK is 99.99%; the mass fraction of tower reactor can reach 27.0%. Introduction Hydrazine hydrate is widely used in the agricultural chemicals, foaming agent, pharmaceutical manufacturing [1] and water treatment, etc. In recent years, the hydrazine hydrate industry is rapid development, and the demand is increasing. Its application is limited by the high cost of production, so seeking economic and reasonable production technology is a focus in the study of hydrazine producers in a long time. People have developed many preparation methods of hydrazine hydrate, such as Raschig process [2], Schestak of process [3], Bergbau-Bayer-Whiffen process [4], PCUK process [5, 6], and Air oxidation process [7].
