Dichlorobenzene Mouse S1500+

1,2‑Dichlorobenzene (1,2‑DCB) is a chlorinated aromatic hydrocarbon that is widely used in industrial applications, including as a solvent for waxes, resins, and paints, and it serves as an ingredient in the production of disinfectants and deodorants. 1,4‑Dichlorobenzene (1,4‑DCB) is a chlorinated aromatic hydrocarbon that is used in various industrial and household applications, including as a fumigant for moth control, a deodorizer in urinal cakes, and an air freshener in domestic and public settings.

Short-term in vivo transcriptomic studies were used to assess the biological potency of 1,2‑DCB and 1,4-DCB. The data from these studies are intended to support risk assessment and establishment of acceptable exposure levels of 1,2‑DCB and 1,4‑DCB in environmental and occupational settings.
