Epichlorohydrin is an important epoxide whose creation comes mainly from hydrochlorination of allyl chloride. |
Laboratory tests on quail show that the epoxide is from two to four times as toxic as the original chemical. |
The materials recommended for plugging leaks are polyester, urethane foam and epoxide resin paste. |
Recent tests showed that a dangerous oxidation product, heptachlor epoxide, formed on crops sprayed with the pesticide. |
Some epoxide forms can bind to proteins and nucleic acids and potentially lead to genotoxicity. |
The amine and epoxide functional groups are the primary characters in the epoxy reaction. |
