Wildlife Toxicity Assessment for Mixed Xylenes
Abstract
Xylene, also known as dimethyl benzene or simply referred to as mixed xylenes, is a chemical mixture appearing as an aromatic hydrocarbon that exists in three isomeric forms: ortho-, meta- and para-xylene (or 2-, 3-, and 4-xylene). This Wildlife Toxicity Assessment (WTA) summarizes current knowledge of the toxicological impacts of mixed xylenes on wildlife. Evaluating the toxicity of mixed xylenes will contribute to the derivation of toxicity reference values (TRVs) for use as screening-level benchmarks for wildlife near contaminated sites. The protocol for the performance of this WTA is available in detail in Technical Guide No. 254 (Standard Practice for Wildlife Toxicity Reference Values).
