Description
Pentane is an exogenous organic compound with the formula C5H12 and an average molecular weight of 72.15 g/mol. Pentane belongs to the alkanes, a subclass of saturated hydrocarbons within the organic compounds. At room temperature, this compound exists as a liquid. Pentane is utilized as a non-polar chemical solvent, an industrial solvent (PMC10882674 ), and a refrigerant. It serves as a non-motive propellant blowing agent for industrial applications. In the plastics industry, it is used in the production of polyurethane, polystyrene, expanded polystyrene, and high-density polyethylene. The compound is associated with 57 recorded sources. These include building and construction materials such as roofs, floors, ceilings, fencing, and stairs and ramps. It is found in electrical and electronic equipment, including amplifiers, antennas, coils, auxiliary devices, and communication cables or conductors. Within household cleaning and consumer products, it is present in ash trays, bleaching agents, cigar cigarettes, other smoking requisites, and non-electric simulated smoking devices. Pentane is also found in drinking water and water supply, as well as in food, food processing, and cookware, specifically regarding food contact materials, food preservation, the preparation of vinegar, the preparation of wine or sparkling wine, and fermentation processes for beer. Recorded routes of exposure include touch, oral, and inhalation.

Toxicity / Toxin ClassNot Available
Mechanism of ToxicityPentane is a central nervous system depressant. It affects the peripheral nervous system through demyelinization and axonal degeneration. (6)
Carcinogenicity (IARC Classification)Pentane is found in gasoline, which is possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B). (3)
Minimum Risk LevelNot Available
SymptomsPentane is a central nervous system depressant and can cause anorexia, euphoria, dizziness, headache, depression, confusion, inability to concentrate, anoxia, narcosis, and loss of consciousness and coma at high concentrations. Contact with the skin results in cause drying, erythema, hyperpigmentation, hyperemia, dermatitis, burning pain, and blisters. (5, 6, 1)
TreatmentTreatment is mainly symptomatic and supportive. Gastric lavage, emesis, and the administration of activated charcoal should be avoided, as vomiting increases the risk of aspiration. (1)
