General description

The photodissociation dynamics of butyl nitrite was studied using time-resolved Fourier transform infrared (TR-FTIR) emission spectroscopy. The effects of butyl nitrite on methyl cobalamin and 5-methyl tetrahydrofolate were studied.

The uptake of butyl nitrite by rats (500 g, one rat/chamber) was determined over a 5-min exposure period. About 44% of the starting amount (771-3855 ppm) of n-butyl nitrite was consumed in 5 min. Three rats per exposure concentration were
