Description of key information
-Acute oral toxicity:The LD50 value of 2324 mg/kg in rats were determined for O-isobutyl ethylthiocarbamate (IBETC) .This show thatReaction mass of O-isobutyl ethylthiocarbamate (IBETC) is of a slightly order of acute oral toxicity .
-Acute Dermal Toxicity: In an acute dermal toxicity study with Isopropyl Ethyl Thionocarbamate (IPETC) performed to OECD 402 test guideline, an LD50 >2000 mg/kg bw was determined. O-isopropyl ethylthiocarbamate (IPETC) is the similar substance as O-isobutyl ethylthiocarbamate (IBETC). Therefore, the health effects of O-isopropyl ethylthiocarbamate (IPETC) need to be considered in the assessment of O-isobutyl ethylthiocarbamate (IBETC).
-Acute inhalation toxicity: Inhalation LC50 values for vapor exposures were >6,000 ppm (18,180 mg/m3) in male and female rats.Decreases in motor activity were noted post-exposure in the 6000 ppm (18,18 0 mg/m3 ) groups but not the 3000 or 1500 ppm (9,090 or 4,550 mg/m3 )groups. No effect on motor activity was detected at the 7 and 14-day time points. No exposure-related effects were noted in the FOB assessment.
Isobutyl alcohol is reagents used in the manufacture of O-isobutyl ethylthiocarbamate (IBETC). Therefore, the health effects of Isobutyl alcohol need to be considered in the assessment of O-isobutyl ethylthiocarbamate (IBETC) .
It is concluded that the substance O-isopropyl ethylthiocarbamate (IPETC) meet the criteria to be classified for human health hazards for acute oral effects.

- Exposure Chambers: Four 2000-liter stainless steel and glass Hazelton H-2000 chambers
- Animal Housing during Exposure: Individual stainless steel wire mesh cages, positioned in one tier in the chamber
Exposure Duration: 6 hours
- Test Atmosphere Generation System: Test material was fed into a Laskin-type nebulizer mounted in a filtered supply air inlet at top of the inhalation chamber. Exposure concentrations were controlled by using an adjustable-flow valveless pump to regulate the
rate at which isobutanol was delivered to the nebulizer.

Sampling Location: In the animal breathing area from a port halfway down on the chamber door
- Chamber Atmosphere Distributions: Chamber atmospheres were sampled in 2 different locations for all 3 exposure concentrations.

The solutions were analyzed for isobutanol content using gas chromatography with a flame ionization detector. - Analytical verification of test atmosphere concentrations:
- yes
- Duration of exposure:

.- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
- Other examinations performed: clinical signs, body weight - Statistics:
- A two-way ANCOVA and Duncan’s multiple comparison test was used to determine statistical significance. The FOB evaluation was similar to methods published by Mosher (1991).
- Sex:

- Effect level:

- Exp. duration:
- 6 h
- Remarks on result:
- other: Decreases in motor activity were noted post-exposure in the 6000 ppm (18,18 0 mg/m3 )
- Mortality:
- 1/10 male animals died at 6000 ppm. This death was attributed to an ophthalmic examination where atropine drops were applied to its eyes.All other animals survived.
- Clinical signs:
- other: during exposure: There was clear evidence of generalized depression of the central nervous system (animals were non-responsive to tapping on side of inhalation chambers) and labored respiration in rats during the 6 hours of exposure to 6000 and 3000 ppm o
- Body weight:
- Body weights of male rats in the 3000 and 6000 ppm groups were significantly lower than the male controls throughout the study. These statistically significant results are due to pretest differences and not because of exposure to the chemical.
- Gross pathology:
- There were no treatment-related lesions or other gross changes in the tissues and organs examined during necropsy. Enlarged, dilated, distended uteri were observed at necropsy in the low, mid, and high groups at incidences of 3/10, 1/10, and 1/10, respectively. This finding was not observed in the control group. The severity was minimal in all instances. This is a common observation and usually reflects physiologic changes related to the estrus cycle. This is further substantiated by the inverse dose response. Therefore, although histologic examination was not conducted, it appears that these observations are unassociated with treatment and reflect the normal variation expected with different stages of the estrus cycle.

- Conclusions:
- Inhalation LC50 values for vapor exposures were >6,000 ppm (18180 mg/m3) in male and female rats.Decreases in motor activity were noted post-exposure in the 6000 ppm (1818 0 mg/m3 ) groups but not the 3000 or 1500 ppm (9090 or 4550 mg/m3 )groups.

Male and female rats exposed to atmospheric vapor levels of 0, 1500, 3000, or 6000 ppm (0, 4550, 9090, 18180 mg/m3) for six hours were evaluated in a neurobehavioral battery (motor activity determination and a functional observational battery) within two hours post-exposure. Hypoactivity and diminished response to a startle reflex (during the inhalation exposure) was observed during exposure for the 3000 and 6000 ppm (9090 and 18180 mg/m3) exposures. Decreases in motor activity were noted post-exposure in the 6000 ppm (1818 0 mg/m3 ) groups but not the 3000 or 1500 ppm (9090 or 4550 mg/m3 )groups.
