The aim of the study was to investigate the suitability of butoxyethoxyacetic acid (BEAA) as a biomarker of exposure to water-based cleaning agents containing diethylene glycol mono butyl ether (DEGBE). The study was performed in two printing plants where water-based

Tandem liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry coupled to online radioactive material detection (LC/RAM/MS/MS) is a technique that is used routinely for in vivo and in vitro drug metabolism studies and allows for a simultaneous correlation between radiochemical peaks and mass spectral data.

The teratogenicity of diethylene glycol mono-n-butyl ether (DEGMBE) was studied in Wistar rats. The pregnant rats were fed a diet containing DEGMBE from day 0 through day 20 of pregnancy. The dietary concentrations of DEGMBE were 0, 0.04, 0.2 and

Rejection characteristics of organic and inorganic compounds were examined for six reverse osmosis (RO) membranes and two nanofiltration (NF) membranes that are commercially available. A batch stirred-cell was employed to determine the membrane flux and the solute rejection for solutions

2-Methoxyacetic and 2-ethoxyacetic acids are well known toxic metabolites of 2-alkoxyethanols. The use of 2-alkoxyethanols is now restricted, and the regulations have forced manufacturers to find substitutive solvents, 2-(2-alkoxyethoxy)ethanols. 2-(2-Alkoxyethoxy)ethanols resemble 2-alkoxyethanols, and their most hazardous similarity is their ability
