High-purity reference materials for accurate and reliable residue analysis
Overview
Xylene, also known as xylol or dimethylbenzene, refers to any of three organic compounds with the formula (CH3)2C6H4. These compounds are derived from the substitution of two hydrogen atoms with methyl groups in a benzene ring, resulting in three structural isomers: o-xylene, m-xylene, and p-xylene. Xylene is a colorless, flammable liquid with significant industrial value.
Uses
Xylene is widely used in various industries. It serves as a solvent in printing, rubber, and leather industries, and is a common component of ink, rubber, and adhesives. It is also used in thinning paints and varnishes, cleaning agents for steel and silicon wafers, and in the petroleum industry as a paraffin solvent. In laboratories, xylene is used for cooling baths, removing synthetic immersion oil from microscope objectives, and as a clearing agent in histology.
Regulatory
Xylene is regulated under various international guidelines to ensure safe handling and usage. It is classified as a hazardous air pollutant and is subject to strict monitoring and control measures to minimize environmental and health impacts.
Monitoring
Monitoring xylene levels is crucial in industrial and laboratory settings to ensure compliance with safety standards. Techniques such as gas chromatography are commonly used to measure xylene concentrations in air and other media.
Health Impact
Exposure to xylene can affect the central nervous system, causing symptoms such as headache, dizziness, nausea, and vomiting. Long-term exposure may lead to more severe health issues, including headaches, irritability, depression, and hearing loss. Xylene is also a skin irritant and can strip the skin of its oils, increasing permeability to other chemicals.
Environmental Impact
Xylene can contribute to soil and water contamination if not properly managed. It is essential to follow regulatory guidelines to prevent environmental pollution and ensure safe disposal of xylene-containing waste.
Safety Measure
Proper safety measures should be implemented when handling xylene. This includes using impervious gloves, masks, and respirators to avoid inhalation and skin contact. Adequate ventilation and monitoring of xylene levels in the workplace are also necessary to ensure a safe working environment.
