Applicant's summary entry of further references; endpoint study record was created to contribute to the overall results:
In this summary entry, a further publication on the degradation of o-dichlorobenzene in field soil is summarized. The reliability of this publication was not assignable because references were only cited as secondary literature.
In a study of 8 archived samples of sewage sludge amended soil collected between 1942 and 1991, Wang et al (1995) compared them to soil from a control plot that had never been treated with either sewage sludge or other organic manures. It was found that the level of chlorobenzene compounds (including 1,2-dichlorobenzene) in the sludge amended samples was elevated over those of the control. The range of 1,2-dichlorobenzene applied in the sewage sludge was not detected to 126 µg/kg, however during the 50 years the residue of 1,2-dichlorobenzene was found to be the lowest of the dichlorobenzene compounds at 6-9%. This result supports the relatively rapid elimination of 1,2-dichlorobenzene from soils. Volatilisation was identified by microcosm as the main mechanism of loss.
