Glycerol trichlorohydrin - a synthetic, colorless to light yellow liquid that is soluble in polar organic solvents and only slightly soluble in water. 1,2,3 trichloropropane is used as both a chemical intermediate and cross linking agent in the production of polymers. 1,2,3 trichloropropane is flammable and, when heated to decomposition, emits toxic fumes of hydrogen chloride. Exposure of humans to 1,2,3 trichloropropane vapor causes irritation of the eyes and throat. It is reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen.
