Fatty alcohols are not very volatile and the acute lethal concentration is greater than the saturated vapor pressure. Longer-chain (C 12 –C 16) fatty alcohols produce fewer health effects than short-chain (smaller than C 12). Short-chain fatty alcohols are considered eye irritants, while long chain alcohols are not.

Narrow-range ethoxylates (NREs) in chemistry are fatty alcohol polyglycol ethers with a narrow homolog distribution and are known nonionic surfactants.They can be produced industrially, for example, by the addition of ethylene oxide onto fatty alcohols in the presence of suitable catalysts (layer compounds which have been calcined or hydrophobized with fatty acids).
Oleyl alcohol / ˈ oʊ l i ˌ ɪ l, ˈ oʊ l i əl /, [1] or cis-9-octadecen-1-ol, is an unsaturated fatty alcohol with the molecular formula C 18 H 36 O or the condensed structural formula CH 3 (CH 2) 7 −CH=CH−(CH 2) 8 OH. It is a colorless oil, mainly used in cosmetics.
Cetyl alcohol / ˈ s iː t əl /, also known as hexadecan-1-ol and palmityl alcohol, is a C-16 fatty alcohol with the formula CH 3 (CH 2) 15 OH. At room temperature, cetyl alcohol takes the form of a waxy white solid or flakes. The name cetyl refers to whale oil (cetacea oil, from Latin: cetus, lit.
1-Decanol is a straight chain fatty alcohol with ten carbon atoms and the molecular formula C 10 H 21 OH. It is a colorless to light yellow viscous liquid that is insoluble in water and has an aromatic odor. [3] The interfacial tension against water at 20 °C is 8.97 mN/m.
Fatty liver disease happens when fat builds up in your liver. This can cause damage, inflammation, and other complications. ... The risk factors for alcoholic fatty liver disease include drinking ...
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a silent condition that can affect anyone, regardless of age or lifestyle. According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney ...
Industrial ethoxylation is primarily performed upon alcohols. Lower alcohols react to give glycol ethers which are commonly used as solvents, while longer fatty alcohols are converted to fatty alcohol ethoxylates (FAE's), which are a common form of nonionic surfactant.
