Methyl ethyl ketone (MEK,
2-butanone, butan-2-one) is used as a solvent for protective
coatings and adhesives. Biological monitoring is based on the
analysis of MEK in urine samples collected at the end of exposure
or end of shift.
There are US and German guidance values to aid
interpretation.
As MEK is a volatile solvent,
please ensure that the sample bottle is filled to the shoulder (but
not more) to ensure no losses during transport and storage. As MEK
itself is measured, please ensure that contamination of the sample
is avoided (ask workers to remove overalls, wash hands before
providing a sample).
