    Area of Science:

    • Environmental Chemistry
    • Industrial Chemistry

    Background:

    • Chlorinated benzenes encompass twelve chemical species, including mono-, di-, tri-, tetra-, penta-, and hexachlorobenzene.
    • These compounds serve as crucial intermediates and find extensive use in various industrial applications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the environmental occurrence and fate of chlorinated benzenes.
    • To highlight the significance of chlorinated benzenes in comparison to Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs).

    Main Methods:

    • The study focuses on the occurrence and fate of chlorinated benzenes.
    • Toxicity and biological impact are explicitly excluded from this paper's scope.

    Main Results:

    • Significant annual production volumes of monochlorobenzene, 1,2-dichlorobenzene, and 1,4-dichlorobenzene in Japan were reported (23,000, 9,000, and 20,000 tons in 1973, respectively).

  • Total annual production of chlorinated benzenes exceeds that of PCBs.
  • Specific applications include termite control (1,4-dichlorobenzene), pesticide solvents (trichlorobenzenes), and fungicides (hexachlorobenzene).

    • Conclusions:

    • Chlorinated benzenes are widely produced and utilized in various sectors.
    • Their structural and property similarities to PCBs warrant monitoring of their environmental presence.
    • Further research is needed to understand the environmental behavior of these compounds.
