Abstract

Chlorobenzilate is an organochlorine pesticide currently restricted in the United States and Europe. However, it is infrequently used in other regions of the world. It is almost water-insoluble and is extensively adsorbed to soil particles in the upper layers of soil. This pesticide has low mobility in the soil and only a minor percentage of penetration into groundwater. Although there is no information on whether chlorobenzilate causes cancer in humans, in orally treated rats, chlorobenzilate was found to be carcinogenic, with an increased frequency of liver tumors. This chemical is categorized as Group B2, a probable human carcinogen by the EPA. © 2024 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
