2-Phenylpropane is a clear, colourless liquid with a strong aromatic odour. The boiling point of the substance is 152.7 °C and the vapour pressure is 4.96 hPa at 20 °C. 2-Phenylpropane is almost insoluble in water, but it is soluble in most organic solvents. The log POW is 3.55. The substance...

Di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP) is a colourless oily liquid with a slight ester-like odour. The water solubility of DBP is 10-11 mg/l at 20 °C and the log POW is 4.6-5.38. The substance has a flash point of 157 °C (closed cup) and a density of 1.05 g/cm3 (ACGIH 2001, ATSDR 2001, ECB 2000, 2003).

n-Butyl acetate, sec-butyl acetate and isobutyl acetate have structural similarities and a common metabolic pathway. The main critical effect is local irritation, which is common to all three acetates. These common toxicological properties justify a recommendation of an OEL for all three butyl...

The relevant toxicological endpoint for hydrazine is carcinogenicity. In addition, it is a potent contact sensitizer; allergic contact eczema caused by hydrazine has been described in numerous publications from different branches of industry. Evidence on respiratory sensitization is lacking....

Trimethylamine (TMA) occurs naturally in humans. It is produced endogenously by the gut bacteria and may also be ingested with food, especially fish. The critical effects of inhalation exposure to TMA are odour annoyance and irritative effects. Incompletely reported data have indicated moderate...

In exposed workers, inhalation is the main route of exposure. Additional uptake can occur through the consumption of contaminated food and/or tobacco smoking. IARC considers Cd and Cd compounds to be carcinogenic to humans (IARC Group 1), based on sufficient evidence in humans for the...
