General Description

(Pentachloroethyl)benzene, also known as 1,1,1,2,2-pentachloroethylbenzene, is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C8H5Cl5. It is a type of chlorinated aromatic hydrocarbon and is typically used as an intermediate in the production of pesticides and other agrochemicals. (Pentachloroethyl)benzene is known to be toxic to aquatic organisms and may cause long-term adverse effects in the environment. It is also considered to be harmful if swallowed, inhaled, or in contact with the skin, and can cause irritation to the eyes and respiratory system. Due to its toxic properties, (pentachloroethyl)benzene is regulated and restricted in many countries to protect human health and the environment.
