  • Health Effects: Chronic exposure to hexachlorobenzene can damage the liver, thyroid, nervous system, bones, kidneys, blood, and immune and endocrine systems. It also causes a syndrome, called black sore, that is characterized by dermal blistering and epidermolysis, pigmentation and scarring, alopecia, photosensitivity, hepatomegaly, porphyria, suppurative arthritis, osteomyelitis, and osteoporosis of the bones of the hands. It may also cause a liver disease called porphyria cutanea tarda. This disease can cause red-colored urine, skin sores, change in skin color, arthritis, and problems of the liver, nervous system, and stomach. Hexachlorobenzene also affects development and results in lower survival rates of children of exposed mothers. It is also believed to be a human carcinogen.

  • Toxicity Summary: Based on representative levels of hexachlorobenzene in air, water, and food, the total intake of hexachlorobenzene by adults in the general population ... is predominantly from the diet. ... Hexachlorobenzene is readily absorbed by the oral route in experimental animals and poorly via the skin. ... In animals and humans, hexachlorobenzene accumulates in lipid-rich tissues, such as adipose tissue, adrenal cortex, bone marrow, skin and some endocrine tissues, and can be transferred to offspring both across the placenta and via mothers' milk. Hexachlorobenzene undergoes limited metabolism, yielding pentachlorophenol, tetrachlorohydroquinone and pentachlorothiophenol as the major metabolites in urine.... The acute toxicity of hexachlorobenzene to experimental animals is low ... In animal studies, hexachlorobenzene is not a skin or eye irritant ... The available data on the systemic toxicity of hexachlorobenzene indicate that the pathway for the biosynthesis of heme is a major target of hexachlorobenzene toxicity. Elevated levels of porphyrin and/or porphyrin precursors have been found in the liver, other tissues and excreta of several species of laboratory mammals ... Porphyria has bee Source: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
  • Toxicity Summary: Hexachlorobenzene causes porphyria by modifying sulfhydryl groups in the catalytic or substrate-binding sites of uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase. This inhibits uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase, resulting in a deficiency of the decarboxylation of uroporphyrinogen III and accumulation of uroporphyrins in the liver. In addition, metabolism of hexachlorobenzene by the cytochrome P-450 enzymes is believed to produce reactive electrophilic metabolites that covalently bind to cellular proteins and DNA, causing irreversible damage. Exposure to hexochlorobenzene also causes macrophages to be attracted to organs such as the spleen, lungs, and skin, where they become activated by the hexochlorobenzene. This leads to a cascade of reactions involving innate immune cells. The gene expression profiles provide evidence for the importance of macrophages and granulocytes and mediators released by these cells in the adverse inflammatory response against hexochlorobenzene. In this way, co-stimulatory or danger signals are generated that could polyclonally activate T cells. Hexachlorobenzene is a weak agonist for aryl hydrocarbon receptor and may exhibit some of its toxic effects by activating the gene-re Source: Toxin and Toxin Target Database (T3DB)
  • Environmental Bioconcentration: BCF values of 2,700 to 4,800 were measured in carp exposed to 10 ug/L of hexachlorobenzene during an 8 week incubation period and BCF values of 1,600 to 3,900 were measured in carp exposed to 1 ug/L of hexachlorobenzene during an 8 week incubation period(1). Log BCF values in rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) were given as 3.7-4.3(2-4) and in fathead minnows (Pimephales promelas) and sunfish (Lepomis cyanellus) log BCF values of 4.21 and 4.34, respectively, were reported(3). After an 8-week exposure period of carp (Cyprinus carpio) to concentrations of 0.5 and 0.05 ug/L of hexachlorobenzene, the BCFs were 11,000-27,000 and 6,000-30,000, respectively(5). According to a classification scheme(6), these BCF values suggest that bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is very high, provided the compound is not metabolized by the organism(SRC).

  • Environmental Bioconcentration: Larval stages of Chironmus decorus were used to define the bioaccumulation of sediment sorbed mono-, di-, tri-, and hexachlorobenzenes. Larvae were exposed to high and low organic content sediments equilibrated with individual radiolabeled chlorobenzenes prior to testing. The uptake of chlorobenzenes by midge larvae was rapid for all compounds, and apparent steady state conditions were reached within 48 hrs of exposure. Bioconcentration factors for the accumulation of chlorobenzenes from sediments and from interstitial and overlying waters were related to the octanol/water partition coefficients of the cmpd. Bioaccumulation was dependent on the concentration of the chemicals in interstitial water. Source: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
  • Environmental Bioconcentration: A list is given of environmental chemicals detectable in adipose tissue and/or milk in non-occupationally exposed individuals that include ... . Besides their physiochemical properties ..., the list contains average BCFs, ADIs, ... production figures, fate in the environment, concentrations in human adipose tissue, and data from total diet studies from market basket investigations are given. Bioconcentration factors (wet wt basis) of these compounds are between 3 and 47 times higher in humans than in rats. Source: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
  • Environmental Fate: TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a recommended classification scheme(1), measured log Koc values in the range of 3.6-5.5(2-4) indicate that hexachlorobenzene is expected to be immobile in soil(SRC). Volatilization of hexachlorobenzene from moist soil surfaces is expected to be an important fate process(SRC) given a Henry's Law constant of 5.8X10-4 atm-cu m/mole at 25 °C(5). However, adsorption to soil is expected to attenuate volatilization(SRC). Hexachlorobenzene is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon a vapor pressure of 1.72X10-5 mm Hg at 25 °C(6). Hexachlorobenzene is persistent to either abiotic or biodegradation processes in soil(7). One study measured a half-life (first-order kinetics) of 3-6 years for hexachlorobenzene in soils(7,8). The half-life for residence of hexachlorobenzene in soil has been estimated to be 970-2100 days with the major loss process from soil at the surface being volatilization(9). Source: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
  • Environmental Fate: AQUATIC FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), measured log Koc values of 4.9-5.5) measured in sediment(2,3) indicate that hexachlorobenzene is expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment(SRC). Volatilization from water surfaces is expected(4) based upon a Henry's Law constant of 5.8X10-4 atm-cu m/mole(5), but adsorption is expected to attenuate this process(SRC). Using this Henry's Law constant and an estimation method(3), volatilization half-lives for a model river and model lake are 7.5 hours and 7.5 days, respectively, if adsorption is ignored(SRC). The volatilization half-life from a model pond (2 m deep) is approximately 5 years if adsorption is considered(6). According to a classification scheme(7), BCF values in the range of 1,600 to 30,000 in fish(8) suggest that bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is very high. Hexachlorobenzene is resistant to aerobic biodegradation(8). Anaerobic biodegradation in water-sediment varies widely with half-lives ranging from weeks to years(8) with an intermediate value of roughly 1.7 years(8). Hydrolysis is not an important fate process for hexachlorobenzene(8). Photolysis half-lives in shallow water exposed to sunlight may be Source: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
  • Environmental Fate: ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), hexachlorobenzene, which has a vapor pressure of 1.71X10-5 mm Hg at 25 °C(2), is expected to exist in both the vapor and particulate phases in the ambient atmosphere. Monitoring studies have demonstrated that the vapor phase generally predominates(3). Vapor-phase hexachlorobenzene is degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals(SRC); the half-life for this reaction in air is estimated to be 1.6 years(SRC) from its rate constant of 2.7X10-14 cu cm/molec-sec(SRC). Results of vapor phase photolysis studies indicate direct photolysis is not expected to be an important fate process in the atmosphere(3). Particulate-phase hexachlorobenzene may be physically removed from the air by wet and dry deposition(SRC). Hexachlorobenzene has been detected in many precipitation monitoring studies (both rain water and snow)(4); therefore, removal from air occurs via wet deposition(SRC).
