Abstract
Hexachlorobenzene is found as an admixture in technical pentachloronitrobenzene, which has widespread use as a soil fungicide. Soils that had been treated in the past with this pesticide contain measurable levels of hexachlorobenzene. For different crops and parts of the plant, there were great differences in the amounts taken up from soil. The lowest relative contents in crop to soil were found for sugarbeet crowns and leaves, and for grass blades more than 5 cm above the ground. A clear accumulation was found in carrots and grass roots. Pentachlorobenzene behaves almost like hexachlorobenzene, whereas relative contents for pentachloronirobenzene are usually lower.
