Propyl alcohol or n-Propanol, primary alcohol that is used as a solvent and chemical intermediate in the pharmaceutical, chemical and food industries. It was found that n-Propanol exhibited low acute toxicity for animals via the dermal, inhalation, and oral routes of exposure. n-Propanol has no evidence of carcinogenicity or mutagenicity. This compound is not a reproductive toxicant at levels expected from using it as an inert ingredient in pesticide formulations.
