Descriptor dibromuro de etileno
Entry term(s) 1,2-dibromoetano
Scope note: Fumigante eficaz del suelo, insecticida y nematocida. En los humanos causa quemaduras intensas de la piel e irritación de los ojos y del tracto respiratorio. La inhalación prolongada puede causar necrosis hepática. Se utiliza también en la gasolina. Los miembros de este grupo han causado cánceres en hígado y pulmón en roedores. Según el Fourth Annual Report on Carcinogens (NTP 85-002, 1985), puede anticiparse razonablemente que el 1,2-dibromoetano sea carcinógeno.

Scope note: An effective soil fumigant, insecticide, and nematocide. In humans, it causes severe burning of skin and irritation of the eyes and respiratory tract. Prolonged inhalation may cause liver necrosis. It is also used in gasoline. Members of this group have caused liver and lung cancers in rodents. According to the Fourth Annual Report on Carcinogens (NTP 85-002, 1985), 1,2-dibromoethane may reasonably be anticipated to be a carcinogen.
