The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency considers 1,4-dioxane, which is used as a solvent and stabilizer, likely to be a human carcinogen. The agency has set a lifetime health advisory level of ...
The benzodioxans are a group of isomeric chemical compounds with the molecular formula C 8 H 8 O 2. [1] There are three isomers of benzodioxan, as the second atom of oxygen of the dioxane can be in a second, third or fourth position: 1,2-dioxane, 1,3-dioxane and 1,4-dioxane, which respectively give 1,2-benzodioxan, 1,3-benzodioxan and 1,4-benzodioxan.
By doing that, Sanford and Seminole County lowered 1,4-dioxane levels in drinking water to about half of the state and federal advisory level – 0.35 parts of the chemical in 1 billion parts of ...

The other two dioxanes (1,2-dioxane and 1,3-dioxane) are just mentioned and there is a picture showing the chemical structure of all three dioxanes for comparison.
Central Florida’s 1,4-dioxane contamination has caught the attention of Yale University researchers. They want to hear concerns from residents who have been drinking water supplied by public ...
