NCIt definition : A synthetic, white crystalline solid that is practically insoluble in water and soluble
in ether, chloroform, carbon disulfide, benzene, alcohol and acetone. It is used primarily
as a space deodorant in products such as room deodorizers, urinal and toilet bowl
blocks, and as an insecticide fumigant for moth control. When 1,4-dichlorobenzene
is heated to decomposition, toxic gases and vapors (such as hydrochloric acid and
carbon monoxide) are released. The primary route of potential human exposure to this
compound is inhalation. Acute inhalation exposure to 1,4-dichlorobenzene can result
in coughing and breathing difficulties. Breathing high levels of this chemical can
cause headaches, dizziness and liver damage. Contact with 1,4-dichlorobenzene can
irritate the eyes, leading to burning and tearing. It is reasonably anticipated to
be a human carcinogen. (NCI05);
