HCB (Hexachlorobenzene) is a persistent organic pollutant primarily produced via chlorination of benzene. Its molecular formula is C6Cl6 with CAS No. 118-74-1. Historically used as a fungicide, its production is now strictly regulated under the Stockholm Convention.
Strictly prohibited for agricultural use due to bioaccumulation risks. Storage requires sealed containers in cool, dry areas away from oxidizers. Personal protective equipment including respirators is mandatory during handling to prevent inhalation exposure.
