Evaluates the risks to human health and the environment posed by
exposure to monochlorobenzene, dichlorobenzenes, trichlorobenzenes,
tetrachlorobenzenes, and pentachlorobenzene. These chemicals are
produced in huge quantities for use as intermediates in the
synthesis of pesticides and in the production of a wide range of
consumer and commercial products. A review of data on sources of
environmental exposure notes that release to the environment occurs
primarily during manufacture and that incineration of
chlorobenzenes may lead to the emission of polychlorinated
dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans. Sections concerned with
sources and levels of human exposure conclude that the general
population is exposed to the lower chlorinated congeners mainly
through inhalation, whereas a greater proportion of the total daily
intake of the higher chlorinated compounds is ingested in food;
breast-fed babies may receive a higher dose than adults. Particular
concern centres on risks of human exposure arising from the
ingestion of contaminated fish and from contaminated indoor air
linked to use of these compounds as moth repellents and air
fresheners.
