NCIt definition : A volatile and flammable, clear, colorless, liquid, chlorinated cyclic ether with
an irritating, chloroform-like odor that emits toxic fumes of hydrochloric acid and
other chlorinated compounds when heated to decomposition. Epichlorohydrin is used
in the manufacture of epoxy resins, synthetic glycerin and elastomers. Exposure to
epichlorohydrin irritates the eyes, skin and respiratory tract, and can cause chemical
pneumonitis, pulmonary edema, and renal lesions. This substance also affects the blood.
Epichlorohydrin is reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen and may be associated
with an increased risk of developing respiratory cancer. (NCI05);
