Continue to sterilise your babyâs bottle feeding equipment for at least his first year. You may think sterilising is rather pointless when your baby is putting all sorts of things in his mouth. However, your baby's immune system is still developing and it's easy for him to pick up infections during his first years.
For the diesel fuel analysis, see cetane number. Hexadecane (also called cetane) is an alkane hydrocarbon with the chemical formula C 16 H 34. Hexadecane consists of a chain of 16 carbon atoms, with three hydrogen atoms bonded to the two end carbon atoms, and two hydrogens bonded to each of the 14 other carbon atoms.Cetane is often used as a shorthand for cetane number, a measure of the detonation of diesel fuel.Cetane ignites very easily under compression; for this reason, it is assigned a cetane number of 100, and serves as a reference for other fuel mixtures.etane is often used as a shorthand for cetane number, a measure of the detonation of diesel fuel.

Also known as perchlorobutadiene, hexachlorobutadiene is formed through the creation of other chemicals. Used as a solvent for elastomers (or rubber compounds), as a heat-transfer liquid, a transformer and hydraulic fluid, and a wash liquid for removing hydrocarbons, this chemical is imported in the U.S. from Germany, and is used commercially. The EPA has listed hexachlorobutadiene as a possible human carcinogen.
