This report examines the health effects of exposure to n-butyl, isobutyl, sec-butyl, and tert-butyl acetates The best studies available indicate that the acute toxicity of n-butyl acetate by inhalation, oral and dermal routes is low. Limited available data on the other isomers also indicate low toxicity.--Publisher's description.
