dc.relation.ispartofMethyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK) is a clear liquid with a sweet odour and is produced commercially for wide use as a solvent. It can be measured by gas chromatography with flame ionization detection. It rapidly evaporates into the atmosphere, where it is rapidly photo-transformed. MIBK is readily biodegradable, and this, together with its moderate water solubility and low octanol/water partition coefficient, suggests that it has a low bioaccumulation potential.
