metaksyleeni

Metaksyleeni, also known as meta-xylene or 1,3-dimethylbenzene, is an organic compound with the chemical formula C8H10. It is one of the three isomeric xylene isomers, the others being ortho-xylene and para-xylene. Metaksyleeni is a colorless liquid with a mild aromatic odor. It is produced industrially as a byproduct of the production of toluene and xylene from petroleum. Metaksyleeni is used as a solvent in the production of plastics, synthetic fibers, and other chemicals. It is also used as a raw material in the production of dyes, pharmaceuticals, and other organic compounds. Metaksyleeni is considered to be a hazardous substance due to its potential to cause skin and eye irritation, as well as respiratory problems upon inhalation. It is also classified as a possible carcinogen. Proper handling and disposal procedures should be followed when working with metaksyleeni to minimize potential health risks.
