  <common_name>2-PENTANOL</common_name>
  <class>SmallMolecule</class>
  <description>2-PENTANOL belongs to the alcohols and polyols, a subclass of organooxygen compounds within the organic compounds. This organic oxygen compound has the chemical formula C5H12O and an average molecular weight of 88.15 g/mol. Industrially, it is utilized as a fragrance, as well as a flavouring and nutrient.

The compound is released from low-density polyethylene plastics and is found in 27 recorded sources. These sources include building and construction materials such as ceilings, and household cleaning and consumer products including bleaching agents, cigar cigarettes, non-electric simulated smoking devices, tobacco smoke filters, and other smoking requisites. It is also associated with food, food processing, and cookware, specifically regarding food contact materials and fermentation processes for beer, vinegar, wine or sparkling wine, and the preparation of malt. Additionally, it is found in electrical and electronic equipment, including antennas, amplifiers, auxiliary devices, discharge lamps, and cores yokes or armatures. Recorded exposure routes for 2-PENTANOL include oral, touch, and inhalation.</description>
