The compound is often called simply dioxane because the other dioxane isomers (1,2- and 1,3-) are rarely encountered. 1,4-Dioxane is miscible in water, essentially nonvolatile when dissolved in water, not well adsorbed by activated carbon, not readily oxidized by common oxidants.

1,4-Dioxane is a trace contaminant of some chemicals used in cosmetics, detergents, and shampoos. Manufacturers now reduce 1,4-dioxane from these chemicals to low levels before these chemicals are made into products used in the home.

2024年11月13日 · EPA determined that 1,4-dioxane presents unreasonable risk to human health. EPA assessed the impact of 1,4-dioxane on workers (including occupational non-users), consumers, bystanders, the general public, and fenceline communities.

2024年11月13日 · EPA evaluated 1,4-dioxane under the amended Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) and completed the final risk evaluation in December 2020. EPA released a final supplement to the risk evaluation in November 2024.

What is 1,4-dioxane? 1,4-Dioxane is a clear liquid that easily dissolves in water. It is used primarily as a solvent in the manufacture of chemicals and as a laboratory reagent. 1,4-Dioxane is a trace contaminant of some chemicals used in cosmetics, detergents, and shampoos.

2024年5月2日 · Dioxane, or 1,4-dioxane, is a heterocyclic diether with the formula C 4 H 8 O 2. It is a flammable, colorless liquid with a faint, sweet odor similar to diethyl ether.

2024年8月22日 · In 2002, the presence of 1,4-dioxane in wastewater became problematic for a groundwater recharge project in southern California, prompting a need for additional water treatment. Drinking water systems are not required by state regulations to monitor for 1,4-dioxane.

What is 1,4-dioxane? 1,4-Dioxane is a synthetic industrial chemical that is completely miscible in water (EPA 2006). Synonyms include dioxane, dioxan, p-dioxane, diethylene dioxide, diethylene oxide, diethylene ether and glycol ethylene ether (EPA 2006; Mohr 2001).

1,4-Dioxane is a synthetic chemical (not naturally found in the environment) that has been widely used as a solvent and a stabilizer for chlorinated solvents in various industries.
