1-Propanol - Environmental Health Criteria 102
(1990)
1-Propanol is a colourless, highly flammable liquid that is volatile at room temperature and normal atmospheric pressure. It is miscible with water and organic solvents. Analytical methods for propanol include gas ...
Cyhalothrin - Environmental Health Criteria 99
(1990)
Cyhalothrin is formed by esterifying 3-(2-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoroprop-1-enyl)-2,2- dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylic acid with alpha-cyano-3-phenoxybenzyl alcohol, and it consists of a mixture of four stereoisomers. ...
Aluminium - Enviromnental Health Criteria 194
(1997)
Aluminium is a silvery-white, ductile and malleable metal. It belongs to group IIIA of the Periodic Table, and in compounds it is usually found as AlIII. It forms about 8% of the earth's crust and is one of the most reactive ...
Methyl Tertiary-Butyl Ether - Environmental Health Criteria 206
(1998)
Methyl tertiary-butyl ether (MTBE) is one of several ethers that may be used as fuel additives and is currently by far the dominant one. Ethyl tertiary-butyl ether (ETBE), tertiary-amyl methyl ether (TAME), tertiary-amyl ...
Diazinon - Environmental Health Criteria 198
(1998)
The chemical name for diazinon is O, O-diethyl O-2-isopropyl-6-methylpyrimidinyl-4-yl phosphorothioate. The pure material forms a colourless liquid with a faint ester-like odour. The technical active ingredient is a ...
Methanol - Environmental Health Criteria 196
(1997)
Methanol is a clear, colourless, volatile flammable liquid with a mild alcoholic odour when pure. It is miscible with water and many organic solvents and forms many binary azeotropic mixtures. Methanol occurs naturally ...
1,1,1 - Trichloroethane - Environmental Health Criteria 136
(1992)
1,1,1-Trichloroethane is a chlorinated hydrocarbon which is manufactured from vinyl chloride or vinylidene chloride by chlorination. The world production was approximately 680 000 tonnes in 1988. It is a colourless, ...
2, 4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid (2,4-D) - Environmental Health Criteria 29
(1984)
All exposure determinations and risk assessments ultimately depend on accurate chemical analyses, and therefore some critical aspects of analysis for 2,4-D residues have been included in the present document. The available ...
Guide to Short-Term Tests for Detecting Mutagenic and Carcinogenic Chemicals - Environmental Health Criteria 51
(1985)
This document represents the views of ICPFMC and is published by IPCS in an attempt to stimulate scientific discussion, as well as to provide guidance on the use of genotoxicity tests in chemical safety programmes. Although ...
Carbon Monoxide - Environmental Health Criteria 13
(1979)
Carbon and oxygen combine to form either carbon monoxide (CO) (incomplete combustion) or carbon dioxide (CO,) (complete
combustion). Whereas carbon dioxide is inert, carbon monoxide is a potent poison owing to its ability ...
