High-purity reference materials for precise and reliable residue analysis of Chloroethanol.

Overview

Chloroethanol, also known as 2-Chloroethanol, is an organic chemical compound with the chemical formula HOCH₂CH₂Cl. It is a colorless liquid with a pleasant ether-like odor and is miscible with water. The molecule consists of both an alkyl chloride and an alcohol functional group.

Uses

Chloroethanol is utilized in the production of pharmaceuticals, biocides, and plasticizers. It is involved in the installation of 2-hydroxyethyl groups and is used in the alkylation of aniline derivatives for dye preparation. Additionally, it serves as a solvent for cellulose acetate and ethyl cellulose, textile printing dyes, dewaxing, refining rosin, extracting pine lignin, and cleaning machines.

Regulatory

Chloroethanol is classified as an extremely hazardous substance in the United States under Section 302 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act. Facilities that produce, store, or use it in significant quantities are subject to strict reporting requirements.

Monitoring

Monitoring of Chloroethanol levels is crucial for ensuring compliance with regulatory limits. Analytical methods and high-purity reference materials are essential for accurate residue analysis in various matrices.

Health Impact

Human Toxicity

Chloroethanol is highly toxic with an LD₅₀ of 89 mg/kg in rats. It poses significant health risks upon inhalation, ingestion, or dermal exposure. Symptoms of exposure include irritation, respiratory distress, and potential long-term health effects.

Environmental Impact

Effects on Wildlife

Chloroethanol can have detrimental effects on wildlife due to its toxicity. It is a metabolite in the degradation of 1,2-dichloroethane, which is processed in large quantities as a precursor to vinyl chloride. Proper disposal and environmental monitoring are necessary to mitigate its impact.

Safety Measures

Due to its highly toxic and flammable nature, strict safety measures must be implemented when handling Chloroethanol. Personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, goggles, and respiratory protection should be used. Proper ventilation and storage conditions are also essential.

Regulation

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has set a permissible exposure limit (PEL) of 5 ppm (16 mg/m³) over an eight-hour time-weighted average. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) recommends a more protective exposure limit of 1 ppm (3 mg/m³) as an exposure ceiling.
