Description

1,2,3,4-Tetrachlorobenzene (TeCB) is a persistent organic pollutant (POP) that has been detected in the environment. It is a colorless crystalline solid with a pungent odor. TeCB is a highly stable compound that is resistant to degradation in the environment. It can be synthesized by the chlorination of benzene. TeCB is toxic to humans and other animals, and it has been linked to cancer, reproductive problems, and other health effects. TeCB has been studied extensively because of its environmental persistence, toxicity, and potential for bioaccumulation. It is also a valuable chemical intermediate in the production of other chemicals.'
