Chlorobenzenes are a group of cyclic aromatic compounds in which one or more hydrogen atoms of the benzene ring have been replaced by a chlorine atom. They are used mainly as intermediates in the synthesis of pesticides and other chemicals; 1 4-DCB is used in space deodorants and as a moth repellent. The higher chlorinated benzenes (TCBs and 1 2 3 4-TeCB) have been used as components of dielectric fluids. This CICAD on chlorobenzenes other than hexachlorobenzene is an update of the Environmental
