Target Organ Effects Based on animal studies, exposure to methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) increases the onset of peripheral neuropathy caused by exposure to methyl butyl ketone (MBK), and/or n-hexane, and/or ethyl butyl ketone. MEK alone has not been shown to cause peripheral neuropathy. Overexposure te this material (or its components) has been suggested as a cause of the following effects in laboratory animals: Mild, reversible liver effects, mild, reversible kidney effects. Developmental Information This material (or a component) has been shown to cause harm to the fetus in laboratory animal studies. The relevance of these findings to humans is uncertain.
