Short description: m-Cresol, a possible toxic carcinogen, has many applications in industry.
Common name: m-Cresol
Keyword: carcinogen
Keyword: disinfectant
Keyword: fumigants
Keyword: plasticizer
Citation of a publication: F.Toda, Y.Tagami, T.C.W.Mak (1986) Bull.Chem.Soc.Jpn., 59,1189
IUPAC name: N,N,N',N'-tetraisopropyloxamide
Layman's explanation: M-Cresol is obtained from coal tar or petroleum as a clear to amber colored liquid or semi-solid. M-cresol has many applications such as plasticizers, gasoline additives, making explosives, pigments, disinfectants, antioxidants, fumigants and pharmaceutical intermediates. This aromatic compound has a phenolic odor and is even used in perfumes. Recent studies done by the U.S. National Toxicology Program have revealed that m-cresol is actually slightly to moderately toxic and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has declared that m-cresol is a possible carcinogen. m-cresol is currently not banned in the United States, however current research is focusing on its possible toxicity and cancer causing properties.
