Metabolite Identification
Common Name2-Chloroethanol
Description2-chloroethanol belongs to the class of organic compounds known as chlorohydrins. These are alcohols substituted by a chlorine atom at a saturated carbon atom otherwise bearing only hydrogen or hydrocarbyl groups. 2-chloroethanol exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. 2-chloroethanol is a primary metabolite. Primary metabolites are metabolically or physiologically essential metabolites. They are directly involved in an organism’s growth, development or reproduction. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on 2-chloroethanol. This compound has been identified in human blood as reported by (PMID: 31557052 ). 2-chloroethanol is not a naturally occurring metabolite and is only found in those individuals exposed to this compound or its derivatives. Technically 2-Chloroethanol is part of the human exposome. The exposome can be defined as the collection of all the exposures of an individual in a lifetime and how those exposures relate to health. An individual's exposure begins before birth and includes insults from environmental and occupational sources.
