ksyleeni

Ksyleeni is a colorless, flammable liquid with a sweet odor. It is an aromatic hydrocarbon with the chemical formula C8H10. It is a component of some solvents and is used in the production of plastics, synthetic fibers, and other chemicals. Ksyleeni is found naturally in crude oil and is also produced synthetically. There are three isomers of ksyleeni: ortho-ksyleeni, meta-ksyleeni, and para-ksyleeni. These isomers have slightly different properties and uses. For example, para-ksyleeni is used to produce polyester fibers and films, while meta-ksyleeni is used in the production of isophthalic acid.

Exposure to ksyleeni can occur through inhalation, skin contact, or ingestion. Inhalation of high concentrations can cause dizziness, headaches, nausea, and vomiting. Prolonged or repeated skin contact can lead to irritation and dermatitis. Ingestion can cause abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Ksyleeni is considered a volatile organic compound (VOC) and can contribute to air pollution. Occupational exposure limits are set by regulatory agencies to protect workers' health. Proper ventilation and personal protective equipment are recommended when handling ksyleeni. It is important to store ksyleeni in a well-ventilated area away from heat and ignition sources.
