Useful:
  • Chemical Classes:Nitrogen Compounds -> Nitros, Aromatic
  • Canonical SMILES:CC1=C(C=CC=C1[N+](=O)[O-])[N+](=O)[O-]
  • Inhalation Risk:A harmful concentration of airborne particles can be reached quickly when dispersed, especially if powdered.
  • Effects of Short Term Exposure:The substance may cause effects on the blood. This may result in the formation of methaemoglobin. The effects may be delayed. Medical observation is indicated.
  • Effects of Long Term Exposure:The substance may have effects on the blood. This may result in the formation of methaemoglobin. This substance is possibly carcinogenic to humans. Animal tests show that this substance possibly causes toxicity to human reproduction or development.
  • Physical properties Pale yellow, orange, brown or reddish rhombic crystals. Odor threshold concentration in water is 100 ppb (quoted, Keith and Walters, 1992).
  • Uses Organic synthesis; propellant additive; manufacture of explosives; intermediate in the manufacture of polyurethanes. 2,6-Dinitrotoluene is used primarily, along with the other isomers, in producing toluene diisocyanate; production of the diisocyanate ranges from 100 million to almost a billion pounds each year.
