Description
1,2-Dichloroethane (C2H4Cl2) is an exogenous organic compound with an average molecular weight of 98.96 g/mol. It exists as a liquid at room temperature. 1,2-Dichloroethane belongs to the organochlorides, a class of organohalogen compounds within the organic compounds. This compound serves as an industrial solvent (PMC6644369), a non-polar chemical solvent, and a biocide. Biologically, it functions as a mutagen and an electron acceptor (PMC91463). It is used in the production of Polyvinyl Chloride. Recorded sources of the compound include aquatic systems and sediments, drinking water and water supply, building and construction materials, household cleaning and consumer products, electrical and electronic equipment, and food, food processing and cookware. Exposure routes include oral, touch, and inhalation (PMC13303702). 1,2-Dichloroethane interacts with 34 recorded protein targets. It irreversibly inhibits protein disulfide-isomerase (P4HB) via alkylation by its glutathione conjugate, S-(2-chloroethyl)glutathione. It antagonizes the action of the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) at GABA-A receptors, including GABRA1, GABRA2, GABRA3, and GABRA4, causing central nervous system hyperexcitability. Additionally, it inhibits Ca2+ and Mg2+ ATPase, including ATP2C1, ATP2A1, ATP2A2, and FXYD2, which leads to the accumulation of intracellular free calcium ions and the propagation of stimuli throughout the central nervous system. The compound also binds to and inhibits the estrogen receptor (ESR1 and ESR2), causing endocrine disruption in humans. Finally, it targets haloalkane dehalogenase (linB).

Toxicity Profile
Mechanism of Toxicity1,2-Dichloroethane is metabolized to 2-chloroacetaldehyde, S-(2-chloroethyl)glutathione by conjugation with glutathione, and to other putative reactive intermediates capable of binding covalently to cellular macromolecules in the liver, kidney, and other tissues. The conjugation of 1,2-dichloroethane with glutathione is catalyzed primarily by glutathione S-transferases. 1,2-Dichloroethane appears to be activated to mutagenic species to a lesser extent by the hepatic microsomal cytochrome P-450 enzyme system. Reactive metabolites of 1,2-dichloroethane produced by hepatic microsomal cytochrome P-450 can bind to cellular proteins and DNA. It has been suggested that 1,2-dichloroethane-induced toxicity occurs when the biotransformation processes are saturated, thereby allowing higher levels of 1,2-dichloroethane to circulate throughout the body and conjugate with glutathione instead of being detoxified and eliminated. (5, 1)
Carcinogenicity (IARC Classification)2B, possibly carcinogenic to humans. (4)
Minimum Risk LevelChronic Inhalation: 0.6 ppm (3) Intermediate Oral: 0.2 mg/kg/day (3)
Symptoms1,2-Dichloroethane exposure causes abdominal pain, coughing, dizziness, drowsiness, headache, nausea, sore throat, diarrhea, unconsciousness, and vomiting, depending on the contact surface and the intensity. Redness of the eyes or skin occurs upon contact. (6)
TreatmentBlood gases should be monitored, a good ventilation maintained, and cardiac arrhythmias observed for a minimum of 24 hours. In the event of a ventricular arrhythmia, lidocaine or beta-blockers could be administered. Serum creatinine, hepatic aminotransferase, electrolytes, and fluid balance for signs of hepatic or renal failure should be monitored. Dialysis may be helpful in the event of renal failure. Hepatic failure may be treated with fresh frozen plasma, vitamin K, low protein diet, neomycin, and lactulose. (5)
