| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Uses]
(2-Hydroxyethoxy)acetic acid (β-hydroxyethoxyacetic acid) is the main urinary metabolite of 1,4-Dioxane. (2-Hydroxyethoxy)acetic acid is a reliable and sensitive shortterm biomarker in urine[1]. | [in vivo]
The main metabolic pathway of 1,4-Dioxane is oxidized by cytochrome P450 monooxygenase to (2-Hydroxyethoxy)acetic acid (β-hydroxyethoxyacetic acid; HEAA), which is then rapidly excreted in urine[1]. | [References]
