Additional information
In the Merck Index, Bis(2-chloroethyl) ether is described as a colourless liquid with pungent odour. A very similar desription is found in the data book entitled "Properties and Hazards of 108 selected substances - 1990 Edition" published by USGS, where Bis(2-chloroethyl) ether is described as a colourless liquid with sweet, chloroform-like or ethylene dichloride-like odor or pungent, fruity odor. These data originate from a recognised handbook and are confirmed by a databook from USGS which has been subject to peer-review.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
