Toxicity Profile for Butyl butyrolactate (1994)
Abstract
Butyl butyrolactate was of low acute toxicity in rats treated orally and in rabbits treated dermally. The neat material was irritant to rabbit skin, but a dilute solution produced no skin irritation in man. An attempt to induce skin sensitization in volunteers using a low concentration was unsuccessful. Butyl butyrolactate did not produce chromosomal damage when injected into mice and was not mutagenic in an Ames bacterial test or in the fruit fly.
What are Toxicity Profiles?
Toxicity Profiles are comprehensive, yet concise, monographs on the hazard potential of individual chemicals.
They are written by scientists specially trained in the evaluation of toxicity data and are prepared principally from primary information sources.
