Paradichlorobenzene (PDCB), also known as 1,4-dichlorobenzene, is a widely used chemical with various applications, from pest control to industrial processes. Given its utility, understanding the safety aspects and regulatory guidelines associated with PDCB is essential. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is committed to promoting the safe and responsible use of this chemical.

The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified PDCB as a Group 2B agent, meaning it is possibly carcinogenic to humans, primarily based on animal studies. Additionally, exposure to PDCB can lead to irritation of the eyes, skin, and nasal passages, and at higher concentrations, it may cause symptoms such as headaches, nausea, vomiting, and liver damage. Therefore, adhering to safety protocols is crucial, especially in occupational settings.

Regulatory bodies have established occupational exposure limits (OELs) to minimize health risks for workers. These limits, often expressed in parts per million (ppm), guide safe handling practices in manufacturing and application environments. For instance, various Canadian jurisdictions set OELs, and the U.S. EPA has established a Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) for PDCB in drinking water. Awareness of these regulations is vital for compliance.

NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., as a responsible supplier, provides high-quality PDCB while encouraging adherence to all safety guidelines. This includes proper ventilation when using PDCB-containing products, avoiding direct skin contact, and ensuring appropriate storage. By prioritizing safety and regulatory compliance, we aim to support the beneficial uses of PDCB while mitigating potential risks. Consulting detailed safety data sheets (SDS) is always recommended for comprehensive handling information.
