Paradichlorobenzene uses

I read (somewhere) that paradichlorobenzene placed in stacks of drawn comb prevents wax moth damage as well as keeping mold in check. This is the same ingredient found in some urinal cakes. My questions are: Has anyone used this and does it work? and what about the smell? Wouldn't it permeate the wax comb? Dale Paradichlorobenzene, better known as PDB, is the active ingredient in moth crystals and a product known as Para-Moth, which is sold by most of the major beekeeping suppliers. And, you're right! It IS the same ingredient that is found in urinal cakes, although I'd probably stick with the labeled moth crystals... Just for the sake that you don't want people to hear that you're using urinal cakes in the production of their honey. Does the smell permeate the comb? Yes, to an extent. It's very important to air out the stored comb for 24 hours (longer is better) before placing it into use. Bees don't like the fumes any more than you do. Does it work? Again, yes. It keeps moths, and moth larvae, away. ----- The problem with using PDB is with the organic/chemical-free crowd. It's said that PDB contaminates the wax, therefore it shouldn't be used with honeybees or comb storage. At levels where it's perceptable, honeybees wouldn't use it, though. The chemical has been shown to build up in wax over time, but if you're following a comb rotation cycle, you're not using comb that's over 3 to 5 years old anyways. It's also been said that PDB can be transferred to the honey, but ho...

In 2010, there are over thirty products registered with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency that contain paradichlorobenzene. Always The vapor of paradichlorobenzene is toxic to insects. In humans and other animals, paradichlorobenzene is broken down in the body to form other compounds that may be harmful to cells or organs such as the liver. You can be exposed to a pesticide if you breathe it in, get it on your skin, or if you accidentally eat or drink something containing a pesticide. This can happen if you get some on your hands and don't wash them before eating or smoking. People are most likely to be exposed to paradichlorobenzene by breathing in the vapors. When you smell People who have been exposed to paradichlorobenzene have experienced nausea, vomiting, dizziness, fatigue, and headaches. Paradichlorobenzene vapor can also irritate the eyes and nasal passages. If paradichlorobenzene contacts the skin for a prolonged period, it can cause a burning sensation. If a pet eats a mothball made of paradichlorobenzene, they may have vomiting, tremors, and/or abdominal pain. Paradichlorobenzene may also cause kidney and liver damage in pets. In humans, paradichlorobenzene is distributed in the blood, fat, and breast milk. It is broken down into several other chemicals by the body and excret...

David A. Eastmond, Sharada Balakrishnan, in Hayes' Handbook of Pesticide Toxicology (Third Edition), 2010 11.4.5.21,4-Dichlorobenzene 1,4-Dichlorobenzene, or para-dichlorobenzene ( p-DCB), is commonly used to control moths, molds, and mildew and as a bathroom deodorizer. p-DCB is also used as an intermediate in the synthesis of polyphenylene sulfide resin. The genotoxicity of p-DCB has been investigated with mixed, largely negative results ( IARC, 1999a). p-DCB was not mutagenic in bacteria or mammalian cells in vitro but did exhibit some evidence of DNA damage and mutagenicity in yeast. p-DCB produced mixed results in in vitro cytogenetic assays with both positive and negative reports for micronuclei and SCEs. It was negative in inducing DNA strand breaks and chromosome aberrations in vitro. p-DCB failed to exhibit genotoxic effects in vivo, exhibiting negative responses in unscheduled DNA synthesis, in the chromosome aberration assay, in the dominant lethal assay, and in the in vivo micronucleus assay. It was reported as positive in one DNA strand breakage assay and in one in vivo micronucleus assay. p-DCB bound to DNA in the liver, lung, and kidney of mice but not in that of male rats ( IARC, 1999a). It also induced DNA damage in liver and spleen but not in kidney, lung, or bone marrow of mice. IARC stated that no conclusion could be drawn from the few data on genotoxicity in vivo ( IARC, 1999a). In contrast to the negative genotoxicity results, p-DCB induced carcinogen...

It is a white solid with a strong, characteristic odor. It sublimes readily, and has a molecular weight of 147.01 g/mol. The molecule consists of a Benzene ring with two chlorine atoms attached to opposite sites of the ring. It is a member of the chlorobenzene class of compounds. It is produced on a large scale and is used as a mothball, for the production of polycarbonate resins, and as a solvent. What is paradichlorobenzene? Paradichlorobenzene (PDCB) is a synthetic and colorless organic compound with a sweet,musty odor. It is insoluble in water but soluble in most organic solvents. PDCB has been used as a mothball and deodorant for many years because it is an effective insecticide and fumigant. Despite its wide-scale use, relatively little is known about the health effects of PDCB exposure. Where is paradichlorobenzene found? Paradichlorobenzene is found in mothballs, room deodorizers, and toilet bowl cleaners. It is also used as a fumigant for molds and mildew. How is paradichlorobenzene used? Paradichlorobenzene (PD...
