(1997)
Methanol is a clear, colourless, volatile flammable liquid with a mild alcoholic odour when pure. It is miscible with water and many organic solvents and forms many binary azeotropic mixtures. Methanol occurs naturally ...
Nickel - Environmental Health Criteria 108
(1991)
Nickel is a metallic element belonging to group VIIIb of the periodic table. It is resistant to alkalis, but generally dissolves in dilute oxidizing acids. Nickel carbonate, nickel sulfide, and nickel oxide are insoluble ...
Mercury: Environmental Aspects - Environmental Health Criteria 86
(1989)
Mercury is a metal which is liquid at normal temperatures and pressures. It forms salts in two ionic states mercury(I) and mercury (II). Mercury (II), or mercuric, salts are very much more common than mercury(l) salts, and ...
2-Propanol - Environmental Health Criteria 103
(1990)
2-Propanol is a colourless highly flammable liquid with an odour resembling that of a mixture of ethanol and acetone. The compound is completely miscible with water, ethanol, acetone, chloroform, and benzene. Analytical ...
1-Propanol - Environmental Health Criteria 102
(1990)
1-Propanol is a colourless, highly flammable liquid that is volatile at room temperature and normal atmospheric pressure. It is miscible with water and organic solvents. Analytical methods for propanol include gas ...
Cypermethrin - Environmental Health Criteria 82
(1989)
Cypermethrin was initially synthesized in 1974 and first marketed in 1977 as a highly active synthetic pyrethroid insecticide, effective against a wide range of pests in agriculture, public health, and animal husbandry. ...
