[quote:Anonymous Coward 16845676:MV8yMjYyMTcyXzM4NDQ2NTgwXzgzODM2NTJG] Ethylene (IUPAC name: ethene) is a hydrocarbon with the formula C 2H 4 or H2C=CH2. It is a colorless flammable gas with a faint "sweet and musky" odor when pure.[3] It is the simplest alkene (a hydrocarbon with carbon-carbon double bonds), and the simplest unsaturated hydrocarbon after acetylene (C 2H 2). Ethylene is widely used in chemical industry, and its worldwide production (over 109 million tonnes in 2006) exceeds that of any other organic compound.[4][5] Ethylene is also an important natural plant hormone, used in agriculture to force the ripening of fruits.[6] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethylene In 2008, researchers in Canada asserted that quaternary ammonium biocides and oleamide were leaking out of certain polypropylene labware, affecting experimental results.[29] As polypropylene is used in a wide number of food containers such as those for yogurt, Health Canada media spokesman Paul Duchesne, said the department will be reviewing the findings to determine whether steps are needed to protect consumers.[30] The Environmental Working Group classifies PP as of low to moderate hazard.[31] PP is dope-dyed, no water is used of its dyeing in comparison for example with cotton.[32] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polypropylene [/quote]
