Hexachlorobenzene (HCB)
Liver or kidney problems; reproductive difficulties; increased risk of cancer
EWG guideline0.03 ppb
Legal limit1 ppb
ppb = Parts per billion
Hexachlorobenzene is a cancer-causing, neurotoxic and hormone-disrupting chemical used as a pesticide until 1984. It is still found in landfills and hazardous waste sites, and can be detected in people.
