Abstract Using data available in the Products Register at the Swedish National Chemical Inspectorate, an analysis was undertaken of the occurrence and turnover of glycol ethers in Sweden between 1986 and 1993. The most commonly used glycol ethers during 1991 and 1992 were propylene-glycol-monomethyl-ether (107982), ethylene-glycol-monobutyl-ether (111762), diethylene-glycol-monobutyl-ether (112345), and dipropylene-glycol-monomethyl-ether (20324327). Also used to a large extent were diethylene-glycol-monobutyl-ether-acetate (124174) (DEGBEA), diethylene-glycol-monoethyl-ether-acetate (112152), diethylene-glycol-monomethyl-ether (111773), and diethylene-glycol-monoethyl-ether (111900). The use of ethylene-glycol-monoethyl-ether (110805) and ethylene-glycol-monoethyl-ether-acetate (111159) decreased markedly from 1992 to 1993 while the use of all the other glycol ethers increased. The authors suggest that the marked increase in the use of ethylene-glycol-monomethyl-ether (109864) between 1992 and 1993 warrants further study.
