I would like to see a 'breathalyzer test' for this chemical
Hello, I'm curious if 2-butoxyethanol contains alcohol. I'm wearing a SCRAM unit to monitor the intake of alcohol because of a dui. If I get a + reading I would have to go back to jail. I'm not proud of what I did and expect no apathy.
But if you have any information I would be grateful.  Russ  9-2-06
Thank you for inquiring
2-butoxyethanol is a complex alcohol.
I hope some day there will be a breathalyzer test for it, as it is expelled, partly, in one's breath & causes 2nd hand solvent exposure to others if they get too much of the vapors in their eyes
Some info here:
