Is kt/a = kilotons/annum (kilotons/year) ? Also, are those metric tons or 2000 lbs tons ?
H Padleckas 13:13, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
- Hi, Henri, of course kt/a are thousand tonnes per annum, a very common abbreviation for that part of the world that uses tonnes of 1000 kg. Metric! The UK is going to metric very slowly: when does the US catch up? By the way: Excellent picture. Wim van Dorst 19:49, 20 July 2005 (UTC).

[edit] Duplicate article
There is another article on the same subject: Butoxyethanol.

[edit] Proposed merger
Makes sense. I can't see a reasonable objection.

[edit] Text Copied Verbatim from ToxFAQs
The text in the section "Medical effects" comes directly word-for-word from the page listed as the first external link [1]. This text should be rewritten in order that it might not be an exact copy. Using the information in that article is acceptable, but just copying it is not (see Wikipedia:Copyrights). I am not sure if somehow Wikipedia has permission to reproduce that page and if so, please reply here; otherwise, rewrite that section. If there is no response here and no change to the article after 1 week, I will delete that section. KHenriksson 07:00, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
EGMBE Butyl Glycol is often know, in the oil industry at least as EGMBE. I'm not very familiar with making edits in Wikipedia, but would someone be able to link EGMBE to this. Regards.
This is done. Redirect from EGMBE to this article. Brady8 22:07, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Copyrighted Text
Just a note to all that copying text directly from http://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/tfacts118.html or any other external website without permission constitutes copyright violation. I will continue to delete any copyrighted information unless it is rewritten and cited.VandalCruncher (talk) 15:26, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Delinked
I delinked the following link to ethylene glycol because I think it gives people the impression that this compound is identical to ethylene glycol:
OtherNames = butyl cellosolve<br />butyl glycol<br />[[Ethylene_glycol|ethylene glycol]] monobutyl ether

[edit] RFC RE: 2-Butoxyethanol vs. Ethylene_glycol
I just came across the name referring to both compounds on Google, I had a WFT moment. Ok, I'll run with this...hmm.. I had to call poison control cause a buddy did something stupid, they listed that compound with all the other ethylene. If I come across any ref that clarify the issue I'll make the changes and post the 411 here.Lyta79 (talk) 07:38, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
