Description

1,2-Dibromopropane is a chemical that has been used as a solvent and refrigerant. It is also used to produce other chemicals such as ethylene oxide and 1,3-dichloropropane. 1,2-Dibromopropane can be metabolized by the liver or kidney into reactive intermediates that cause damage to DNA. This chemical has been shown to cause an antibody response in rats when orally administered at high doses. The mechanism of this chemical's toxicity is not known, but it may involve the formation of reactive intermediates with the release of glucuronide conjugate and kinetic energy.
