1,2-Dichloropropane (DCP) Water Filter

1,2-Dichloropropane (1,2-DCP) is an organic chemical used in the manufacture of unleaded gasoline, as well as a solvent for fats, oils, resins, waxes, and rubber, as an insecticide fumigant on grain and soil. It is also used in farming as a pesticide for nematodes and peach tree borers. 

Impact on Humans

Several cases of acute poisoning resulting from accidental or intentional (suicide) overexposure to 1,2-DCP have been reported. Effects have been mainly on the central nervous system, liver, and kidneys. Haemolytic anaemia and disseminated intravascular coagulation as well as effects on the respiratory system, heart, and blood have also been described (World Health Organization, 1993, 1996). Long term effects of this chemical are unknown.
