This Statement was prepared to give you information about HMX and to emphasize the human health effects that may result from exposure to it. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has identified 1,416 hazardous waste sites as the most serious in the nation. These sites make up the National Priorities List (NPL) and are the sites targeted for long-term federal cleanup activities. HMX has been found in at least 10 of the sites on the NPL. However, the number of NPL sites evaluated for HMX is not known. As EPA evaluates more sites, the number of sites at which HMX is found may increase. This information is important because exposure to HMX may cause harmful health effects and because these sites are potential or actual sources of human exposure to HMX.

The ATSDR toxicological profile succinctly characterizes the toxicology and adverse health effects information for the toxic substance described therein. Each peer-reviewed profile identifies and reviews the key literature that describes a substance's toxicological properties. 1,2,3-Trichloropropane (C3H5Cl3; CAS number 96-18-4) is a man-made chemical that is present in the environment as a result of anthropogenic activity. It is primarily used in the production of other chemicals. In the past, it was used as a solvent and extractive agent. Exposure can occur through ingestion of contaminated food and water, inhalation, and dermal contact. Data regarding the concentrations of 1,2,3-trichloropropane in the environment are limited; low levels have been found in a few rivers and bays, drinking water, groundwater, and hazardous waste sites in the United States.
