High-purity reference materials for accurate and reliable residue analysis.

Overview

Chlorobenzene (C₆H₅Cl) is an aromatic organochlorine compound and the simplest of the chlorobenzenes. It is a colorless, flammable liquid with an almond-like odor. Chlorobenzene is primarily used as a solvent and an intermediate in the production of other chemicals.

Uses

The major use of chlorobenzene is as a precursor for intermediates such as nitrophenols, nitroanisole, chloroaniline, and phenylenediamines, which are used in the production of herbicides, dyestuffs, rubber chemicals, and pharmaceuticals. It is also used as a high-boiling solvent in industrial and laboratory applications for materials like oils, waxes, resins, and rubber.

Regulatory

Chlorobenzene is regulated by various international standards to ensure safety and environmental compliance. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has set a permissible exposure limit at 75 ppm (350 mg/m³) over an eight-hour time-weighted average for workers handling chlorobenzene.

Monitoring

Monitoring of chlorobenzene levels in the environment and workplaces is essential to ensure compliance with regulatory limits. Analytical methods such as gas chromatography and mass spectrometry are commonly used for detecting and quantifying chlorobenzene residues.

Health Impact

Chlorobenzene exhibits low to moderate toxicity. Exposure can occur through inhalation, ingestion, or skin contact. Acute exposure may cause respiratory irritation, dizziness, and central nervous system effects. Chronic exposure can lead to liver and kidney damage.

Environmental Impact

Chlorobenzene can persist in soil for several months, in air for about 3.5 days, and in water for less than one day. It is not considered a widespread environmental contaminant but can be found near hazardous waste sites. Biodegradation by bacteria such as Rhodococcus phenolicus can occur, breaking down chlorobenzene into less harmful substances.

Safety Measures

Proper safety measures should be taken when handling chlorobenzene. This includes using personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, goggles, and respirators, as well as ensuring adequate ventilation in work areas. Emergency procedures should be in place to handle spills and accidental exposure.
