Has anyone read anything about the effects of xylene on tissue sections, and DNA? Tristanb 05:24, 16 Aug 2003 (UTC)

Does anyone know the history and discovery of xylene? How it came about? When? Where? Etc?

Explanation of the SP2 and sp3 hybradization unnessessary in this context.

There are several mistakes in this article -- the bond angles (109.5), the alternation of single-double bonds, the uniqueness of benzene as the only aromatic compound w/ 6 carbons in the main ring.


It looks like a good deal of this page was taken directly from http://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/tfacts71.html . Sorry I don't have time to fix this. --Noii 20:15, 14 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] please help me

everyone who know about refractive index from xylene please send the information in e-mail address at dog5_my@yahoo.com.thaknx

[edit] error in health effects?

Right now Health Effects reads in part "High levels from exposure for short periods (14 days or less) or long periods (more than 1 year) can cause headaches..."

Does that mean that the headaches go away after 2 weeks only to return after a year?

[edit] Irrelevant?

Does anyone else feel that the Background section of Structure isn't really necessary? Perhaps some links to relevant articles instead? --Trlblzr 04:51, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

I totally agree, it seems pointless in this article. --cb2292 12:15, 29 June 2006 (EST)

[edit] please don't remove

the edit which i have added, it is not a test, or a joke

As important as it may be to you, it's really not relevant information for an encyclopedia article. Edgar181 16:22, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
