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...

In vitro and in vivo genetic toxicology studies with diethylene glycol monohexyl ether.

J. Appl. Toxicol. 21(6) , 449-60, (2001)

Diethylene glycol monohexyl ether (DEGHE; CAS no. 112-59-4), an industrial chemical, was investigated for the potential to produce genotoxic effects using three in vitro and two in vivo tests. No mutagenic activity occurred in either the absence or presence o...
