Propylene glycol ethers (PGEs) are comprised of mono-, di-and tri-PGEs and several of their
acetate esters. The nature of the range of applications that use PGEs suggests that there is a …

The family of synthetic organic substances known as “propylene glycols” consists of the 1, 2-
propanediol substance (monopropylene glycol, MPG) and its dimer (dipropylene glycol …

Ethylene glycol ethers and acetates are used as intermediates, solvents, and plasticizers.
They primarily enter the environment from manufacturing effluents and emissions and during …

Propylene glycol ethers are a class of solvents used in a wide array of industrial, commercial
and consumer applications, such as in paints, cleaners and inks. A robust toxicity database …

Eight propylene glycol substances, ranging from 1, 2‐propanediol to a poly (propylene
glycol)(PPG) having number‐average molecular weight (Mn) of 2,700 (ie, PPG 2700), were …

The fate, effects, and potential environmental risks of ethylene glycol (EG) in the
environment were examined. EG undergoes rapid biodegradation in aerobic and anaerobic …

The toxicological profiles of monopropylene glycol (MPG), dipropylene glycol (DPG),
tripropylene glycol (TPG) and polypropylene glycols (PPG; including tetra-rich oligomers) …

This report reviews aspects of production, use, environmental exposure and biological
effects of ethylene glycol, two isomers of propylene glycol (1, 2-and 1, 3-propanediol) and …

Organophosphate esters (OPEs) are increasingly used as flame retardants and plasticizers
in various products. Most of them are physically mixed rather than chemical bonded to the …

Most investigations on organophosphate esters (OPEs) are conducted predominantly in a
separate biological or abiotic medium, and few joint analyses have been performed in the …
