	Toluene
		Toluene is often used in the manufacturing of other products, although it may not be found in the finished product.
		Toluene is on the State of California's Prop 65 list of chemicals known to harm the developing fetus.
		However, toluene is quickly eliminated from your body, so these tests are only useful if they are done very soon after exposure (generally at the end of a workshift), and the tests only provide useful information about that day's exposure.

		The general population is exposed to toluene mainly through inhalation of vapour in ambient air, cigarette smoking, and, to a minor extent, by ingestion of food or water contaminated with toluene.
		Toluene is a common name for the chemical formed when one hydrogen atom of the benzene molecule is replaced with a methyl group.
		Toluene in the blood increased rapidly within 1 h to a concentration of 1.3 mg/litre, and then decreased, in spite of continuing exposure, to a plateau concentration of 0.5 mg/litre after 6 h.

	Toluene source in diester compressor oil? - Topic Powered by Groupee Community
		Toluene vapor in the air pulled through the compressor may concentrate in the oil sump because the toluene is very soluble in the oil.
		Toluene and water form an azeotrope, allowing the water to be easily removed from the reaction mixture by distillation.
		Toluene and water are easily separated after distillation by decanting the toluene off the top of the water layer allowing the toluene to be recycled back into the reaction mixture.

		The biodegradation of toluene has been well-studied at the molecular level and it, thus, serves as one of the principal models for understanding the mechanisms of bacterial benzene ring metabolism.
		The anaerobic degradation of toluene is documented elsewhere in the UM-BBD.
		The enzyme that starts one branch of this pathway, toluene 1,2-dioxygenase, has many other catalytic abilities, which are documented in a table of the Reactions of Toluene 1,2-Dioxygenase.

	Carcinogenic Potential of Benzene and Toluene When Evaluated Using Cyclin-dependent Kinase Activation and p53-DNA ...
		Since benzene and toluene both appear to have adverse effects on molecular mechanisms that control cell growth and prevent the duplication of genetic errors, these effects do not explain the apparent differences in the ability of the two solvents to cause cancer.
		Benzene and toluene were added to the medium at a concentration of 2% (v/v) and incubated with the cells for 2 hr.
		Since benzene and toluene have been previously shown to be potent PKC-activating promoters, it is likely that the hyperphosphorylation of p53 is mediated through effects on PKC as has been previously demonstrated for phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) (1-4).
