Description

Propylene dichloride, also known as 1,2-dichloropropane, is a colorless liquid with a sweet, chloroform-like odor. It is primarily synthesized through the chlorination of propylene. Propylene dichloride is a versatile chemical used as a solvent, fumigant, and in the production of other chemicals. Its importance lies in its use as a precursor for the production of epichlorohydrin, a key ingredient in epoxy resins and other polymers. Due to its potential health hazards, including carcinogenicity, its use has been restricted in several applications. Research on propylene dichloride focuses on understanding its environmental fate, toxicity, and safe handling practices. This research aims to mitigate its potential risks and explore alternative chemicals to minimize its use.'

Toxicity

" Sex differences in naive rats parameters were slight, but male were more susceptible to toxic effects of 1,2-dichloropropane than female rats; glutathione depletion, lipid peroxidation, and loss of organic anion accumulation were higher in male than in female slices."( Sex- and age-related nephrotoxicity due to 1,2-dichloropropane in vitro.
