The chemical compound 1,2-dichloroethane, commonly known by its old name of ethylene dichloride (EDC), is a chlorinated hydrocarbon, mainly used to produce vinyl chloride monomer (VCM, chloroethene), the major precursor for PVC production. It is a colourless liquid with a chloroform-like odour. 1,2-Dichloroethane is also used generally as an intermediate for other organic chemical compounds and as a solvent. It forms azeotropes with many other solvents, including water (b.p. 70.5 C) and other chlorocarbons.

In 1794, physician Jan Rudolph Deiman, merchant Adriaan Paets van Troostwijk, chemist Anthoni Lauwerenburg, and botanist Nicolaas Bondt, under the name of Gezelschap der Hollandsche Scheikundigen (Dutch: Society of Dutch Chemists), were the first to produce 1,2-dichloroethane from olefiant gas (oil-making gas, ethylene) and chlorine gas. Although the Gezelschap in practice did not do much in-depth scientific research, they and their publications were highly regarded. Part of that acknowledgement is that 1,2-dichloroethane has been called "Dutch oil" in old chemistry.

Daniel Wass (born 31 May 1989) is a Danish football player who plays for French side Evian Thonon Gaillard F.C. on loan from Benfica. His natural role is as right defender, but Wass has also been used as right winger.

During the majority of his childhood, Daniel Wass played for Copenhagen-suburb-club BK Avarta, but was in 2006 scouted by Brøndby and promptly switched sides. After a year of playing for youth teams within the club, he joined the first team.

His debut for the Brøndby Danish Superliga team was given in the 2007/2008 season by then-manager Tom Køhlert, who wanted to give the young talent a chance; Wass played half of the games that season, but had to withdraw later on in the tournament, due to injury.

At the beginning of the 2008/2009 season, Wass secured his place as right defender, and played 28 games out of 33 possible, helping Brøndby to gain the 3. place in Danish Superliga, their best position since the 2004/2005 season, where they achieved gold.

Brøndby manager Kent Nielsen felt Wass should spend gain further developing at another club, so Brøndby chose to loan him out to Fredrikstad, a medal-competing side from Norway. The switch paved way for three unsatisfactory months for Wass, after the board of Fredrikstad FK fired manager Tom Freddy Aune who had signed Wass. Instead the club went forth to hire Tom Nordlie, who informed Wass, that he had no interest in an offensive right defender. As a result of that, Wass received no more than 3 games, and happily returned to Brøndby in December 2009. For the remainder of the 2009/2010 season, Wass got to play more games for Brøndby, ending up securing his place in the starting eleven.
