NCIt related terms : DIOXANE;
NCIt definition : A synthetic, volatile, colorless liquid that is miscible with water, most organic
solvents, aromatic hydrocarbons and oils. It is used primarily as a stabilizer in
chlorinated solvents. 1,4-Dioxane is also used as a solvent for numerous commercial
products and as a wetting/dispersing agent in textile processing. In research, it
is used in certain biological procedures such as liquid scintillation counting and
the preparation of histological sections for microscopic examination. The primary
routes of potential human exposure to 1,4-dioxane are inhalation, ingestion and dermal
contact. Acute exposure to low levels of 1,4-dioxane vapors causes eye and nose irritation.
Exposure to very high levels of these vapors can result in liver and kidney damage
and death. It is reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen. (NCI05);
