Toxicity Profile
Route of ExposureInhalation (6) ; oral (6) ; dermal (6)
Mechanism of ToxicityTrichlorobenzene may uncouple mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, inducing potassium ion release and inhibiting respiratory control. It's metabolites may covalently bind to cellular proteins and alkylate DNA. (2, 3)
MetabolismTrichlorobenzene is absorbed via oral, inhalation, and dermal routes. It is believed to be metabolized via cytochrom p-450 enzymes into metabolites that include phenols, mercapturic acid, and catechols.(6)
Toxicity ValuesNot Available
Lethal DoseNot Available
Carcinogenicity (IARC Classification)No indication of carcinogenicity to humans (not listed by IARC).
Uses/SourcesTrichlorobenzene is used as a solvent in chemical manufacturing, as well as in dyes, dielectric fluid, synthetic transformer oils, lubricants, heat-transfer medium, and insecticides. (7)
Minimum Risk LevelNot Available
Health EffectsHigh levels of trichlorobenzene may damage the liver, kidney, and thyroid. (1)
SymptomsTrichlorobenzene irritates the eyes and respiratory tract. (5)
