Xylene is a liquid, and it can leak into soil, surface water (creeks, streams, rivers), or groundwater. Xylene can enter the environment when it is made, packaged, shipped, or used. Most xylene that is accidentally released evaporates into the air, although some is released into rivers or lakes. Xylene can also enter soil, water, or air in large

Xylene, a synthetic hydrocarbon produced from coal tar is a widely used as a universal solvent. Various health effects due to xylene exposure have been documented in the literature. A number of theories exist for the mechanisms by which xylene exerts its toxic effects on the various systems of the body.

Production Methods. Xylene is produced by catalytic reforming, and, depending on the feedstock, yields of >85% can be achieved. Commercially, xylene is also recovered from coal tar, yielding a typical mixture of about 10–20% ortho, 40–70% meta, and 10–25% para isomer.

XYLENE. Xylene (dimethylbenzene) is a commonly used aromatic solvent with three isomeric forms: ortho, meta-, and para-xylene. Xylenes are one of the highest-volume chemicals produced and used by industry. A mixture of all three isomers is termed xylol. 1 It is a colorless, flammable, liquid hydrocarbon with a characteristic aromatic odor.

We determined adsorption kinetics for a representative aromatic hydrocarbon, m-xylene, and three types of fly ash, two from commercial power plants and one from an experimental fluidized-bed combustor. Rate constants and adsorption half-times were compared to fly ash residence times in coal combustion power plant stacks
