dichlorobenzene
Dichlorobenzene is a chemical compound that consists of a benzene ring with two chlorine atoms attached. It comes in three isomeric forms: ortho, meta, and para, depending on the positions of the chlorine atoms. This compound is commonly used as a solvent and in the production of other chemicals.
Dichlorobenzene is often found in products like mothballs and some industrial cleaners. While it has useful applications, exposure to high levels can be harmful to health, potentially affecting the liver and kidneys. Proper handling and safety measures are essential when working with this substance.
