12Dichloropropene
1,2-Dichloropropene is a chlorinated hydrocarbon with the chemical formula C3H4Cl2. It exists as a colorless liquid with a pungent odor. This compound is an isomer of dichloropropene and is primarily encountered as a component in certain soil fumigant mixtures used in agriculture, such as Telone. It is produced through the chlorination of propene. 1,2-Dichloropropene is volatile and can evaporate into the atmosphere. In the environment, it can degrade through various processes, including hydrolysis and microbial action, though its persistence can vary depending on conditions.
Due to its use as a pesticide, 1,2-dichloropropene has been subject to regulatory oversight. Exposure to this
