毒理性
鉴定和使用:戊硫醇是一种液体。它用作合成有机硫化合物和作为合成香料剂的中间体。它是用于煤气管道寻找泄漏的气味剂的主要成分。人体研究:过度暴露的潜在症状包括头痛、恶心、眩晕、呕吐、腹泻、皮炎、皮肤过敏以及眼睛、皮肤、鼻子、喉咙和呼吸系统的刺激。动物研究:家兔在24小时暴露后未报告皮肤刺激,但在家兔中明显的眼睛刺激持续了3天。在一项范围寻找研究中,吸入2000 ppm浓度4小时导致6只暴露的大鼠中有2到4只死亡。在大鼠中,戊硫醇在5天内导致70-100%死亡率的剂量下产生了胃溃疡和肾上腺损伤。
IDENTIFICATION AND USE: Amyl mercaptan is a liquid. It is used as an intermediate in the synthesis of organic sulfur compounds and as a synthetic flavoring agent. It is the chief constituent of the odorant used in gas lines to locate leaks. HUMAN STUDIES: Potential symptoms of overexposure include headache, nausea, dizziness, vomiting, diarrhea, dermatitis, skin sensitization, and irritation of eyes, skin, nose, throat, and respiratory system. ANIMAL STUDIES: No skin irritation was reported in rabbits after a 24 hr exposure, but marked eye irritation in rabbits lasted for 3 days. A range-finding study found inhalation of 2000 ppm for 4 hr killed two to four rats out of six exposed. In rats, amyl mercaptan produced stomach ulcers and adrenal gland damage at dosages that cause 70-100% mortality in 5 days.
