"Exposure to hexachlorobenzene occurs primarily from eating
low levels in contaminated food. The main health effect from
eating highly contaminated food is a liver disease."
"Hexachlorobenzene was widely used as a pesticide to protect
the seeds of onions and sorghum, wheat, and other grains
against fungus until 1965. It was also used to make
fireworks, ammunition, and synthetic rubber. Currently,
there are no commercial uses of hexachlorobenzene in the
United States."

"Hexachlorobenzene is a white crystalline solid. This
compound does not occur naturally. It is formed as a by-
product during the manufacture of chemicals used as solvents
(substances used to dissolve other substances), other chlorine-
containing compounds, and pesticides."

"Hexachlorobenzene HCB Was used as a seed treatment and as a
fungicide, but is now banned in several countries. Found as
a contaminant of quintozene, tecnazene, chlorothalonil,
picloram, and chlorthal-dimethyl (dacthal or DCPA)."
