Popis: In 2017, the German Commission for the Investigation of Health Hazards of Chemical Compounds in the Work Area has re-evaluated the maximum workplace concentration (MAK value) of 1,4-dichlorobenzene [106-46-7]. If the MAK value of 2 ml 1,4-dichlorobenzene/m3 (12 mg/m3) is not exceeded, prenatal toxic effects are not to be expected. Therefore, 1,4-Dichlorobenzene was classified in Pregnancy Risk Group C. In 2019, the biological tolerance value (BAT value) of 10 mg 2,5-dichlorophenol/l urine was derived in correlation to the MAK value. Therefore, Pregnancy Risk Group C is also valid for the BAT value. Adhering to the BAT value of 10 mg 2,5-dichlorophenol/l urine, prenatal toxic effects are not to be expected.
