Yoko Eitaki et al.
Journal of occupational health, 53(6), 423-431 (2011-10-15)
In order to measure occupational exposure concentrations of ethyl tertiary-butyl ether (ETBE), we developed a diffusive sampling method for monitoring ETBE and performed an ETBE exposure assessment. The applicability of diffusive samplers was examined by exposing the samplers to ETBE
Akihiro Hagiwara et al.
Toxicology, 289(2-3), 160-166 (2011-08-26)
The modifying potential of ethyl tertiary-butyl ether (ETBE) on tumor development was investigated in a medium-term multi-organ carcinogenesis bioassay using male F344 rats. Animals were sequentially given 5 carcinogens with different target sites in the first 4 weeks for multi-organ
Yuzo Asano et al.
Drug and chemical toxicology, 34(3), 311-317 (2011-06-09)
Ethyl tertiary-butyl ether (ETBE) is commonly used as an oxygenated gasoline additive. In this study, the prenatal developmental toxicity of ETBE was determined in rabbits. New Zealand white rabbits were given ETBE by gavage at 100, 300, or 1,000 mg/kg/day
