2,3,5,6-Tetrachlorophenol (Cat No.:R069150) is a chlorinated derivative of phenol. It is a white crystalline solid with a strong phenolic odor. Tetrachlorophenol is used as a wood preservative, disinfectant, and fungicide due to its antimicrobial properties. However, its use has declined due to environmental and health concerns. This compound is toxic to aquatic life and can bioaccumulate in the food chain. Exposure to tetrachlorophenol can also lead to adverse health effects in humans, including skin irritation, respiratory problems, and potential carcinogenicity.
