N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) is classified as a reproductive toxicant (H360D: May damage the unborn child) and can cause skin and eye irritation and respiratory irritation (H315, H319, H335). [5] Studies show NMP exposure can increase the risk of developmental toxicity, including miscarriage and fetal death. [6]
N-Methylmorpholine is the organic compound with the formula O(CH 2 CH 2) 2 NCH 3.It is a colorless liquid. It is a cyclic tertiary amine.It is used as a base catalyst for generation of polyurethanes and other reactions.
Gamma-Butyrolactone is used as a chemical solvent and a cleaning agent, [15] for example in paint stripping or for cleaning graffiti. [16] Butyrolactone is a precursor to other chemicals. Reaction with methylamine gives NMP, and with ammonia gives pyrrolidone. It is also used as a solvent in lotions and some polymers. [5]
A newly identified chemical byproduct may be present in drinking water in about a third of U.S. homes, a study found. Scientists think it might be toxic but do not yet know.
Chronic solvent-induced encephalopathy (CSE) is a condition induced by long-term exposure to organic solvents, often—but not always—in the workplace, that lead to a wide variety of persisting sensorimotor polyneuropathies and neurobehavioral deficits even after solvent exposure has been removed.
The CompTox Chemicals Dashboard is a freely accessible online database created and maintained by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The database provides access to multiple types of data including physicochemical properties, environmental fate and transport, exposure, usage, in vivo toxicity, and in vitro bioassay.
The chemical reactions of dimethylacetamide are typical of N,N-disubstituted amides. Hydrolysis of the acyl-N bond occurs in the presence of acids: CH 3 CON(CH 3) 2 + H 2 O + HCl → CH 3 COOH + (CH 3) 2 NH 2 + Cl −. However, it is resistant to bases. For this reason DMA is a useful solvent for reactions involving strong bases such as sodium ...
Rhubarb is a vegetable high in fiber. "[Rhubarb is] rich in fiber, so it really helps with digestion. [It] has a pretty good source of fiber per serving," Wright told Fox News Digital.
