Bis(2-chloroisopropyl) ether (BCIE) was labeled with /sup 14/C and administered to rats and monkeys and experiments were carried out in metabolic chambers. Urine, blood, and fecal samples were analyzed for BCIE by extraction with trimethylpentane (TMP). Seven days after administration, animals were killed and all organs were excised for analysis of radioactivity. Graphs are presented to show time course of BCIE and its metabolites in blood and cumulative urinary and fecal excretion of BCIE and its metabolites. Tables are presented to show tissue distributions in various organs of rats and monkeys. (HLW)
