Hexachlorobenzene HEXACHLOROBENZENE This substance was considered by previous working groups, in 1978 (IARC, 1979) and 1986 (IARC, 1987). Since that time, new data have become available, and these have been incorporated into the monograph and taken into consideration in the present evaluation. 1. Exposure Data 1.1 Chemical and physical data 1.1.1 Nomenclature Chem. Abstr. Serv. Reg. No.: 118-74-1 Chem. Abstr. Name: Hexachlorobenzene IUPAC Systematic Name: Hexachlorobenzene Synonyms: HCB; pentachlorophenyl chloride; perchlorobenzene 1.1.2 Structural and molecular formulae and relative molecular mass Cl Cl Cl Cl Cl Cl C6Cl6 Relative molecular mass: 284.78 1.1.3 Chemical and physical properties of the pure substance (a) Description: White needles (Lide & Milne, 1996; WHO, 1997; Budavari, 2000) (b) Boiling-point: 325 °C (Lide & Milne, 1996) (c) Melting-point: 231.8 °C (Lide & Milne, 1996) –493– 494 IARC MONOGRAPHS VOLUME 79 (d) Spectroscopy data: Infrared [prism (4545), grating (410)], ultraviolet and mass spectral data have been reported (Sadtler Research Laboratories, 1980; Lide & Milne, 1996). (e) Solubility: Practically insoluble in water (5 × 10–6 g/L at 25 °C); very soluble in benzene; soluble in chloroform and diethyl ether; slightly soluble in ethanol (Lide & Milne, 1996; WHO, 1997) ( f ) Volatility: Vapour pressure, 1.09 × 10–5 mm Hg [1.45 mPa] at 20 °C (Budavari, 2000) (g) Stability: Flash-point, 242 °C (Budavari, 2000) (h) Octanol/water partition coefficient (P): log P, 5.5 (WHO, 1997) 1.1.4 Technical products and impurities Technical-grade hexachlorobenzene was commercially available in the past as a wettable powder, liquid and dust. It was reported to contain about 98% hexachloro- benzene, 1.8% pentachlorobenzene and 0.2% 1,2,4,5-tetrachlorobenzene in the USA (IARC, 1979). Several other impurities have been detected, including hepta- and octa- chlorodibenzofurans, octachlorodibenzo-para-dioxin and decachlorobiphenyl (WHO, 1997). Trade names for hexachlorobenzene include Amatin, Anticarie, Bunt-Cure, Bunt- No-More, Co-op Hexa Granox NM, HexaCB, Julin’s Carbon Chloride, No Bunt, Sanocide, Smut-Go and Snieciotox. 1.1.5 Analysis Methods for the analysis of hexachlorobenzene in various matrices are summarized in Table 1. 1.2 Production Industrial synthesis of hexachlorobenzene involves the chlorination of benzene at 150–200 °C with a ferric chloride catalyst or distillation of residues from the pro- duction of tetrachloroethylene (WHO, 1997). Few recent data on the quantities of hexachlorobenzene produced are available. Worldwide production of pure hexachlorobenzene was estimated to be 10 000 t/year for the years 1978–81. Hexachlorobenzene was produced or imported in the European Community at 8000 t/year in 1978, and a company in Spain reportedly produced an estimated 150 t/year. Approximately 1500 t/year of hexachlorobenzene were manu- factured in Germany for the production of rubber chemicals, but this production was discontinued in 1993. Intentional production of hexachlorobenzene has declined as a result of restrictions on its use since the 1970s, but it may still be produced as an incidental by-product in some processes (see section 1.4) (WHO, 1997).

  • Secondary Organic Aerosol from Chlorine-Initiated Oxidation of Isoprene Dongyu S
    Secondary organic aerosol from chlorine-initiated oxidation of isoprene Dongyu S. Wang and Lea Hildebrandt Ruiz McKetta Department of Chemical Engineering, The University of Texas at Austin, Austin, TX 78756, USA 5 Correspondence to: Lea Hildebrandt Ruiz ([email protected]) Abstract. Recent studies have found concentrations of reactive chlorine species to be higher than expected, suggesting that atmospheric chlorine chemistry is more extensive than previously thought. Chlorine radicals can interact with HOx radicals and nitrogen oxides (NOx) to alter the oxidative capacity of the atmosphere. They are known to rapidly oxidize a wide range of volatile organic compounds (VOC) found in the atmosphere, yet little is known about secondary organic aerosol (SOA) 10 formation from chlorine-initiated photo-oxidation and its atmospheric implications. Environmental chamber experiments were carried out under low-NOx conditions with isoprene and chlorine as primary VOC and oxidant sources. Upon complete isoprene consumption, observed SOA yields ranged from 8 to 36 %, decreasing with extended photo-oxidation and SOA aging. Formation of particulate organochloride was observed. A High-Resolution Time-of-Flight Chemical Ionization Mass Spectrometer was used to determine the molecular composition of gas-phase species using iodide-water and hydronium-water 15 cluster ionization. Multi-generational chemistry was observed, including ions consistent with hydroperoxides, chloroalkyl hydroperoxides, isoprene-derived epoxydiol (IEPOX) and hypochlorous acid (HOCl), evident of secondary OH production and resulting chemistry from Cl-initiated reactions. This is the first reported study of SOA formation from chlorine-initiated oxidation of isoprene. Results suggest that tropospheric chlorine chemistry could contribute significantly to organic aerosol loading.

  • Health Effects Support Document for Hexachlorobutadiene Health Effects Support Document for Hexachlorobutadiene
    Health Effects Support Document for Hexachlorobutadiene Health Effects Support Document for Hexachlorobutadiene U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Office of Water (4304T) Health and Ecological Criteria Division Washington, DC 20460 www.epa.gov/safewater/ EPA 822-R-03-002 February 2003 Printed on Recycled Paper FOREWORD The Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), as amended in 1996, requires the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to establish a list of contaminants to aid the agency in regulatory priority setting for the drinking water program. In addition, SDWA requires EPA to make regulatory determinations for no fewer than five contaminants by August 2001. The criteria used to determine whether or not to regulate a chemical on the CCL are the following: The contaminant may have an adverse effect on the health of persons. The contaminant is known to occur or there is a substantial likelihood that the contaminant will occur in public water systems with a frequency and at levels of public health concern. In the sole judgment of the administrator, regulation of such contaminant presents a meaningful opportunity for health risk reduction for persons served by public water systems. The Agency’s findings for the three criteria are used in making a determination to regulate a contaminant. The Agency may determine that there is no need for regulation when a contaminant fails to meet one of the criteria. This document provides the health effects basis for the regulatory determination for hexachlorobutadiene. In arriving at the regulatory determination, data on toxicokinetics, human exposure, acute and chronic toxicity to animals and humans, epidemiology, and mechanisms of toxicity were evaluated.

Bath experiments demonstrated that the Pd/Fe bimetallic particles could effectively remove AOX. It indicated several factors, such as Pd loading, the amount of Pd/Fe used, initial activated sludge pH, and reaction time, which could affect the removal effect. The results showed that increasing the Pd content in Pd/Fe particles, from 0.01 to 0.05 wt %, significantly increased the removal efficiency of AOX in activated sludge. The Pd/Fe particles had a much higher removal efficiency of AOX in the activated sludge than bare Fe particles. A slightly acidic condition with a Pd content of 0.05% and 10 g/L of Pd/Fe was beneficial to the process of removing AOX in activated sludge. In detail, the removal efficiency of AOX in the activated sludge could reach 50.7% after 15 days of reaction with 10 g/L of Pd/Fe (Pd loading 0.05 wt %) and at an initial pH of 6.0 during the experiments.

  • Safe Thermal Decomposition of Organochloride Pesticides by Submerged Oxidation in Molten Salts LAINETTI, P
    Safe Thermal Decomposition of Organochloride Pesticides by Submerged Oxidation in Molten Salts LAINETTI, P. E. O. A a. Instituto de Pesquisas Energéticas e Nucleares IPEN-CNEN/SP, São Paulo * Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract This study was motivated by the current interest in the world in the development of advanced processes for waste decomposition, category in which the process described herein is inserted. This interest stems from the need for safer processes for the decomposition of some wastes, particularly those deemed hazardous or present significant impact on the environment. The technology developed fits into this principle and it is applicable for intrinsically safe disposal of hazardous organic wastes, particularly the organochloride, whose degradation has presented problems when using the most common methods, such as incineration. Pesticides banned, obsolete or discarded constitute a serious environmental risk around the world, especially in developing countries. The HCHS, or Hexachlorcyclohexanes also called BHC or Lindane, are organochloride insecticides that have been banned in most countries in the 70s and 80s. It is one of the compounds that constitute the group of so-called POPs, or persistent organic pollutants that are regulated internationally by the Basel Convention. Among the major POPs could be cited pesticides, dioxins and PCBs that represent, according to the United Nations Industrial Development Organization - UNIDO, one of the most serious and urgent problems to be faced, because on the one hand,
