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