  • With the 2-Butanethiol, which is an unidentified inhalation toxic material, acute inhalation toxicity was tested with SD rats. The $LC_{50}$ was evaluated to be 2,500 ppm (9.22 mg/L) or higher which falls under the criteria of acute toxicity Category 3 (500<$LC_{50}$<2,500 ppm) in the Industrial Safety and Health Act. In the subchronical inhalation toxicity test by 0, 25, 100, and 400 ppm, 6 hours a day, 5 days a week, for 13 weeks repeated exposure, though no death or particular clinical presentation was observed, in the female 25 and 400 ppm group, including weight change, and in each concentration group including 400 ppm, change of feed rate, eye stimulation, motility change in male group, and lesions in blood and blood biochemical were observed. In the internal organs weight, 25, 100, and 400 ppm groups in male and 400 ppm group in female showed significant (p<0.05) changes in kidney, liver, thymus, and lung. In the pathological tissue test, severe cortical tubular hyaline droplets were observed in the male 400 ppm group, and all male rats of 400 ppm group and 2 female individuals showed tubular degeneration/regeneration accompanied with pigmentation, showing that the target organs of inhalation exposure of 2-Butanethiol are spleen, kidney, nasal cavity, and adrenal. Through the tests, the NOEL of 2-Butanethiol was evaluated to be 25 ppm (0.092 mg/L) or less for both male and female.

  • Butanethiol is known as a typical odorant with hydrogen sulfide, methyl mercaptan, methyl sulfide, but on the physical and chemical properties and biological hazard assessment, including inhalation toxicity data are very scarce. Butanethiol as a colorless transparent liquid, and has physic-chemical characteristics with flash point as $-23^{\circ}C$ and strong fire risk, boiling point $84-85^{\circ}C$, vapor pressure 80.71 mmHg ($25^{\circ}C$), freezing point $-140.14^{\circ}C$. From whole body exposure with SD rats, the $LC_{50}$ is above 2,500 ppm (9.22mg/L), and then it is classified as the acute toxic chemical (inhalation) category 4 according to the governmental notification No. 2012-14.

  • The extraction rates of plasticizer of LPG high pressure rubber are studied. Submerging solvents are composed of propane, n-butane, n-pentane, n-hexane, n-heptane, propylene, 1,3-butadiene, 1-pentene, 1-hexene, ethanethiol, t-butanethiol, dimethyl sulfide, methyl ethyl sulfide. The relationship between the extraction rate of plasticizer and the descriptors of submerging solvent by using multiple linear regression is as follows; PE(wt%) = 7.5193 - 0.58500Carbon${\sharp}$ + 2.3294DB + 2364SH, (N = 13, F = 24.135, R$^2$ = 0.8894, R$_{adj}^2$ = 0.8526, Variance = 7.588) Plasticizer is well extracted by LPG composed of the high vapour pressure and polarity compounds. The mass of extracted plasticizer becomes increasing in proportion to the contents of thiol sulfur compound and unsaturated hydrocarbon such as propylene and 1,3-butadiene in LPG. While the heavier hydrocarbons are, the less the quantities of plasticizer extracted from rubber are.

  • We have synthesized a high electrically conductive 4-(2-(4-(acetylthio)phenyl)ethynyl)benzoic acid (APBA) with a conjugated aromatic structure as a bio fix linker, and then fabricated APBA self-assembled monolayer (SAM) with a self-assembly technique. The structure of the prepared APBA SAM was studied and electrochemical properties of APBA SAM immobilized with a ferrocene molecule were investigated. Also, we have examined the molecular orientation and oxidation-reduction redox characteristics of the mixed SAM consisting of APBA and butanethiol (BT) with a X-ray photo electron spectroscopy (XPS) and cyclicvoltammetry, respectively. Electrochemical activity of the mixed SAM was increased with increasing the mixed time. Especially, the maximum redox current was obtained at a mixed time of 36 hrs.
