Description

Ambient air quality objectives are established as part of the Alberta air quality management system. The purpose of this assessment report was to provide a review of scientific and technical information to assist in evaluating the basis and background for an ambient air quality objective for 2-Ethylhexanol . 2-Ethylhexanol is a clear, colourless liquid with an odour described as sweet, floral, intense, and unpleasant. It occurs naturally in food and is also added as flavouring to foods. This compound is used predominately in the production of plasticizers for PVC resins, hexyl esters, and arylates. It is also used in textiles and as a solvent and wetting agent.
