|Section2= |Section3= }} Chlorobenzilate is a pesticide that is not currently used in the USA or Europe. It was originally developed by Ciba-Geigy and introduced in 1952.〔(Chlorobenzilate ), International Agency for Research on Cancer〕 It was used as an acaricide against mites on citrus trees, including deciduous fruit trees.〔(Chlorobenzilate ), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency〕 It has been detected as a residue on tomatoes found in Japanese markets in 2005.〔() Optimization of a multi-residue screening method for the determination of 85 pesticides in selected food matrices by stir bar sorptive extraction and thermal desorption GC-MS〕 It is a non-systemic pesticide that works through contact and as a neurotoxin: it disrupts the functioning of the nervous system. In the pure state, chlorobenzilate is a colorless to pale yellow solid, but the commercial product is a brownish liquid.〔 It is only slightly soluble in water, but miscible with acetone, toluene and methanol. ==Toxicity== There is no data on the carcinogenic effects of chlorobenzilate in humans. However, when mice were administered the substance orally, carcinogenic effects were observed.〔 The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has therefore classified chlorobenzilate as a probable human carcinogen (Group B2).〔U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Health Effects Assessment Summary Tables. FY 1997 Update. Solid Waste and Emergency Response, Office of Emergency and Remedial Response, Cincinnati, OH. EPA/540/R-97-036. 1997.〕 The International Agency for Research on Cancer has concluded that there is insufficient information available to evaluate the carcinogenicity of chlorobenzilate in humans.〔 Chlorobenzilate is a persistent organic pollutant and is very toxic to aquatic invertebrates. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chlorobenzilate」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
