| Description | (2-Hydroxyethoxy)acetic acid (β-hydroxyethoxyacetic acid) is the main urinary metabolite of 1,4-Dioxane. (2-Hydroxyethoxy)acetic acid is a reliable and sensitive shortterm biomarker in urine[1]. |

| In Vitro | (2-Hydroxyethoxy)acetic acid (HEAA) exists in a pH-dependent equilibrium with the cyclic lactone dioxan-2-one, whereby the open-chain form of (2-Hydroxyethoxy)acetic acid is found to be stable under acidic conditions[1]. |
| In Vivo | The main metabolic pathway of 1,4-Dioxane is oxidized by cytochrome P450 monooxygenase to (2-Hydroxyethoxy)acetic acid (β-hydroxyethoxyacetic acid; HEAA), which is then rapidly excreted in urine[1]. |
