Usage

Description

OCTOXYNOL-3 is a pale yellow oil that is a common environmental pollutant exhibiting weak estrogenic effects. It has been found to cause harm to the male reproductive system of vertebrates, particularly in aquatic species, where it has been observed to cause gonadal intersex, altered sex ratios, and reduced gonad size.

Uses

Used in Environmental Studies:
OCTOXYNOL-3 is used as a research subject for studying its impact on the male reproductive system of vertebrates, particularly in aquatic species. The application reason is to understand the effects of this environmental pollutant on gonadal intersex, altered sex ratios, and reduced gonad size, which can help in developing strategies to mitigate its harmful effects on aquatic life and ecosystems.

Isolation of bacterial strains that produce the endocrine disruptor, octylphenol diethoxylates, in paddy fields

Topsoil samples were collected from 36 different paddy fields in West Japan. Each soil sample was incubated with a basal salt-medium containing 0.2% OPPEO. Twelve samples possessed OPPEO-degrading activity, from which twelve cultures of OPPEO-degrading ba

Method for preparing arylpoly(oxyalkyl) amines

The invention pertains to a process for preparing an arylpoly(oxyalkyl)compound, wherein the process involves reacting a phenol with a halohydrin, and reacting the reaction product with an amino alkyl halide. The invention seeks to provide a less hazardous alternative to conventional preparation processes where arylpoly(oxyalkyl)compounds are made starting from an extremely toxic and hazardous dihalogeno-polyalkylene ether. The preferred arylpoly(oxyalkyl)compound is benzethonium chloride.
