High-purity reference materials for accurate residue analysis

Overview

Hexachloro-1,3-butadiene (HCBD) is a colorless liquid at room temperature with a mild, turpentine-like odor. It is a chlorinated aliphatic diene primarily used as a solvent for other chlorine-containing compounds. Structurally, it has a 1,3-butadiene core fully substituted with chlorine atoms.

Uses

HCBD is used as a solvent for chlorine and other chlorine-containing compounds. It is also employed in the FeCl3-catalyzed chlorination of toluene and as a scrubber to remove chlorine-containing contaminants from gas streams. Additionally, it is used in IR spectroscopy as a mulling agent and has applications as an algicide in industrial cooling systems.

Regulatory

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) classifies HCBD as a group C Possible Human Carcinogen. The American Conference of Governmental and Industrial Hygienists classifies it as an A3 Confirmed Animal Carcinogen with Unknown Relevance to Humans. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has set a recommended exposure limit at 0.02 ppm over an eight-hour workday.

Monitoring

Monitoring of HCBD levels is essential in environments where it is used or produced to ensure compliance with regulatory limits and to protect human health and the environment.

Health Impact

Human Toxicity

Exposure to HCBD can occur via oral, inhalation, and dermal routes, leading to systemic toxicity. Effects may include fatty liver degeneration, epithelial necrotizing nephritis, central nervous system depression, and cyanosis.

Environmental Impact

Effects on Wildlife

HCBD is highly toxic to aquatic life and can have long-lasting effects on the environment. Its use and disposal must be carefully managed to prevent environmental contamination.

Safety Measures

Proper safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment and adequate ventilation, should be implemented to minimize exposure to HCBD. Emergency protocols should be in place to handle accidental releases or exposures.
