What is 1,4-Dioxane?
1,4-dioxane is a synthetic chemical used in many industries as a manufacturing solvent, a laboratory component and in the production of other chemicals. It is used in products such as adhesives, resins, oils, waxes, wood pulping, and in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, certain plastics and rubber. The chemical also appears as a byproduct of personal care products, detergents and cosmetics. While there is no current standard set for 1,4-dioxane in drinking water in New Jersey, Veolia continues to carefully monitor this emerging contaminant.
