This study examined the feasibility of using surface catalyzed Fenton treatment to remediate soil and groundwater contaminated by the chlorinated ethers, bis(2-chloroethyl) ether (BCEE) and bis(2-chloroethoxy) methane (BCEM). Parameters that affect the contaminant loss rate such as porewater pH, hydrogen

Either 40 mumole or 160 mumole 2,2'-DDE was injected into male Wistar rats and the metabolites, TdGA and HEMA, were determined in the 24-h urine specimens. Comparative investigations were carried out giving equimolar amounts of chloroethanol and 2-chloroacetaldehyde diethyl acetal.

Carcinogenesis, 4(11), 1483-1486 (1983-11-01)
The roles of chloroethylene oxide (CEO) and chloroacetaldehyde (CAA) in carcinogenicity of vinyl chloride (VC) have been studied by comparing biological effects of VC exposure with those of 2,2'-dichlorodiethylether (bis(chloroethyl)ether, BCEE) as a metabolic precursor of CAA. Biological end-points investigated
