  <description>1,3-dichlorobenzene (C6H4Cl2) is an organic compound with an average molecular weight of 147.00 g/mol. 1,3-dichlorobenzene belongs to the halobenzenes, a subclass of benzene and substituted derivatives within the organic compounds.

The compound is found in or released from 20 recorded sources. These include aquatic systems and sediments such as seawater, freshwater, surface water, and groundwater. It is also identified in drinking water and water supply sources, specifically bottled water, tap water, desalinated water, and drinking water. In the sector of wastewater, sanitation and biosolids, it appears in wastewater, industrial wastewater, mine wastewater, and wastewater treatment effluent. Additional sources include agriculture and land management via irrigation water, marine, shipping and aquaculture through bilge water and ballast water, and appliances, HVAC and refrigerants such as water heaters and water coolers, along with three more sectors. Exposure to 1,3-dichlorobenzene occurs through oral, inhalation, and touch routes.

Regarding its presence in plastics, 1,3-dichlorobenzene is present in polyethylene terephthalate and polystyrene. It has not been detected in polypropylene, while results for superabsorbent polymer remain inconclusive.</description>
