High-purity reference materials for accurate and reliable residue analysis.
Overview
Methylphenol, also known as cresol, is a group of aromatic organic compounds that include three isomers: ortho-cresol (o-cresol), meta-cresol (m-cresol), and para-cresol (p-cresol). These compounds are widely used in various industrial applications due to their chemical properties.
The molecular formula of methylphenol is C7H8O, with a molar mass of 108.14 g/mol. At room temperature, methylphenol can appear as colorless crystals, a thicker liquid, or a greasy-looking solid.
Uses
Methylphenols are used as precursors or synthetic intermediates in the production of plastics, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, and dyes. They are also employed as bactericides or disinfectants due to their ability to destroy bacterial cell membranes.
Recent advancements have shown that methylphenols can be used to manufacture carbon nanotubes at scale, without additional chemicals that alter the surface properties of the nanotubes.
Regulatory
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has set a permissible exposure limit for methylphenols at 5 ppm (22 mg/m3) over an eight-hour time-weighted average. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) recommends a limit of 2.3 ppm (10 mg/m3).
Monitoring
Monitoring the levels of methylphenol in various environments is crucial for ensuring compliance with regulatory limits. Laboratories conducting food and environmental analysis rely on high-purity reference materials to achieve accurate and reliable results.
Health Impact
Exposure to high levels of methylphenols can be harmful. Inhalation, ingestion, or skin contact can cause irritation, burns, abdominal pain, vomiting, heart damage, anemia, liver and kidney damage, facial paralysis, coma, and even death. Short-term exposure can irritate the nose and throat, while long-term effects are less well-known.
Environmental Impact
Methylphenols can have significant environmental impacts if not properly managed. They are slowly oxidized by exposure to air, which can lead to contamination and pollution. Proper disposal and treatment of methylphenol-containing waste are essential to minimize environmental harm.
Safety Measure
Handling methylphenols requires strict safety measures to prevent exposure. Personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, goggles, and respiratory protection should be used. Proper ventilation and adherence to regulatory guidelines are also crucial for safe handling.
