2-Ethoxy-4-methylphenol is a chemical that is used as an additive in the production of polyethylene terephthalate plastic. It can be found in products such as food packaging, plastic bottles, and other plastics. 2-Ethoxy-4-methylphenol has been shown to have a strong effect on the death of cells and tissues. This chemical also interacts with DNA and proteins in the cell to produce hydrogen peroxide, which may lead to cell death. 2-Ethoxy-4-methylphenol may be decomposed by ultraviolet light and oxidation into toxic compounds such as chlorides or chloride ions. The analytical method for detecting 2-ethoxy-4-methylphenol is by GC/MS analysis after supercritical fluid extraction, where it can be detected through its characteristic fingerprinting pattern.
