More about 2-butoxyethanol   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #6 of 38 |

And it is in paint, and lots of other things Maybe jet fuel, gun cleaner ... it is a LONG list

Look and see what you use that contains more than 3% of these

Check for what products contain 2-butoxyethanol
(CAS Registry Number: 111-76-2)
in the Household Products Data Base
Also check for the complex version Diethylene glycol monobutyl ether or 2-2-butoxyethanol (CAS Registry Number: 112-34-5)


 

Now there is concern, most think, from benzene. (causes leukemia & aplastic anemia)

Well, that could be, but it is not near as harmful, in my opinion, as


2-butoxyethanol

 

 C6H14O2/CH3(CH2)2CH2OCH2CH2OH 

           Poison!

2-butoxyethanol MSDS info

2-Butoxyethanol causes acute hemolytic anemia in rats

In F344 male rats, 2-butoxyethanol causes severe acute hemolytic anemia resulting in significant increase in the concentration of free plasma hemoglobin. Secondary to the hemolytic effects, 2-butoxyethanol also caused hemoglobinuria as well as histopathologic changes in the liver and kidney.

*Notes to Physician: Administration of Sodium bicarbonate may be of value to treat acidosis. 

Monitor kidney and liver function and arterial blood gases closely.
