The concentration of methyl isoamyl ketone causing a 50% decrease in the respiratory rate of mice (a measure of sensory irritation) was reported to be 1222 ppm. Toxicity studies in rats exposed to methyl isoamyl ketone by inhalation 6 hours/day, 5 days/week for a total 69 exposures reported a NOAEL of 200 ppm. Following inhalation of 1950 ppm by rats for 6 hours, the elimination half-life of methyl isoamyl ketone in blood was 0.7 hr.
