ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: This compound may cause irritation on contact. (NTP, 1992)
Three tetrachlorobenzene (TCB) congeners (1,2,3,4- 1,2,3,5- and 1,2,4,5-Tetrachlorobenzene were administered daily by gavage to pregnant Sprague-Dawley rats at levels of 50, 100, or 200 mg/kg from day 6-15 of gestation. Residues of all three congeners were found in maternal and fetal tissues but generally the amounts of the 1,2,4,5- isomer were about 100 times higher than the other two.
Fires involving this compound can be controlled with a dry chemical, carbon dioxide or Halon extinguisher. (NTP, 1992)
This chemical is probably combustible. (NTP, 1992)
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus for firefighting if necessary.
Avoid dust formation. Avoid breathing mist, gas or vapours.Avoid contacting with skin and eye. Use personal protective equipment.Wear chemical impermeable gloves. Ensure adequate ventilation.Remove all sources of ignition. Evacuate personnel to safe areas.Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak.
Prevent further spillage or leakage if it is safe to do so. Do not let the chemical enter drains. Discharge into the environment must be avoided.
Collect and arrange disposal. Keep the chemical in suitable and closed containers for disposal. Remove all sources of ignition. Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment. Adhered or collected material should be promptly disposed of, in accordance with appropriate laws and regulations.
Handling in a well ventilated place. Wear suitable protective clothing. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid formation of dust and aerosols. Use non-sparking tools. Prevent fire caused by electrostatic discharge steam.
Store the container tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Store apart from foodstuff containers or incompatible materials.

Ensure adequate ventilation. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Set up emergency exits and the risk-elimination area.
Wear tightly fitting safety goggles with side-shields conforming to EN 166(EU) or NIOSH (US).
Wear fire/flame resistant and impervious clothing. Handle with gloves. Gloves must be inspected prior to use. Wash and dry hands. The selected protective gloves have to satisfy the specifications of EU Directive 89/686/EEC and the standard EN 374 derived from it.
If the exposure limits are exceeded, irritation or other symptoms are experienced, use a full-face respirator.

Simple aromatic halogenated organic compounds, such as 1,2,3,5-TETRACHLOROBENZENE, are very unreactive. Halogenated organics generally become less reactive as more of their hydrogen atoms are replaced with halogen atoms. Materials in this group may be incompatible with strong oxidizing and reducing agents. Also, they may be incompatible with many amines, nitrides, azo/diazo compounds, alkali metals, and epoxides. This chemical may react with oxidizers. (NTP, 1992).

1,2,3,5-Tetrachlorobenzene was biodegraded by an acclimated anaerobic sediment slurry obtained from the Tsurumi River, Japan(1). The first-order biodegradation rate constant was 0.037 days-1, corresponding to a half-life of about 19 days(1). The half-life of 1,2,3,5-tetrachlorobenzene in sewage sludge amended soil was 45.4 days(2). An enriched microbial culture derived from sediment of the Rhine River reductively dechlorinated 1,2,3,5-tetrachlorobenzene to 1,3,5-trichlorobenzene in 280 days after a lag period of 47 days(3). An enriched microbial culture obtained from sediment of Lake Ketelmeer, Netherlands dechlorinated 250 nmols of 1,2,3,5-tetrachlorobenzene to 1,3,5-trichlorobenzene in 300 hours(4).
A measured steady state bioconcentration factor of 1800 was obtained for 1,2,3,5-tetrachlorobenzene using bluegill.
Log Koc values of 4.2(1) and 3.2(2) were reported for 1,2,3,5-tetrachlorobenzene. A log Koc value of 3.9 was measured for 1,2,3,5-tetrachlorobenzene in sediment obtained from Ise Bay, Japan(3) According to a recommended classification scheme(4), these Koc values suggest that 1,2,3,5-tetrachlorobenzene has low mobility in soil(SRC).

The material can be disposed of by removal to a licensed chemical destruction plant or by controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing. Do not contaminate water, foodstuffs, feed or seed by storage or disposal. Do not discharge to sewer systems.
Containers can be triply rinsed (or equivalent) and offered for recycling or reconditioning. Alternatively, the packaging can be punctured to make it unusable for other purposes and then be disposed of in a sanitary landfill. Controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing is possible for combustible packaging materials.
