Acute, 9-day, and 13-week vapor inhalation studies on ethylene glycol monohexyl ether.

Fundam. Appl. Toxicol. 8(2) , 198-206, (1987)

At ambient conditions, the low vapor pressure of ethylene glycol monohexyl ether (EGHE) allows for a maximum vapor concentration of approximately 85 ppm. In an acute inhalation study on Wistar albino rats, a 4-hr exposure to 83 ppm EGHE produced no clinical s...

The comparative acute toxicity and primary irritancy of the monohexyl ethers of ethylene and diethylene glycol.

Vet. Hum. Toxicol. 29(5) , 361-6, (1987)

Ethylene glycol monohexyl ether (EGHE) and diethylene glycol monohexyl ether (DGHE) are glycol ethers used as industrial solvents and coating materials, and whose acute handling hazards were investigated. Acute peroral LD50 values in the rat were for EGHE 1.6...

Evaluation of the developmental toxicity of ethylene glycol monohexyl ether vapor in Fischer 344 rats and New Zealand white rabbits.

Fundam. Appl. Toxicol. 12(2) , 269-80, (1989)

Timed pregnant Fischer 344 rats and New Zealand White rabbits were exposed to vapor from ethylene glycol monohexyl ether (EGHE, CAS No. 112-25-4) for 6 hr/day on gestational days (gd) 6 through gd 15 (rats) or gd 6 through gd 18 (rabbits) at analytically meas...

Percutaneous toxicokinetic and repeated cutaneous contact studies with ethylene glycol monohexyl ether.

J. Appl. Toxicol. 23(5) , 301-14, (2003)

Ethylene glycol monohexyl ether (EGHE; CAS no. 112-54-4) is a liquid industrial chemical with a potential for skin contact. The toxicokinetics of EGHE was investigated in Fischer 344 rats and New Zealand White rabbits by intravenous (i.v.) and 48-h occluded e...
