	The Environmental Bureau of Investigation (EBI) Contaminants: chlorobenzene
		Chlorobenzene metabolites are suspected to cause necrosis of the kidneys and liver in rodents.
		In a study of rats and mice exposed to chlorobenzene via gavage (experimentally placing the chemical in the stomach), an increased incidence of neoplastic nodules of the liver in male rats was observed, but not in mice or female rats.
		The concentration of chlorobenzene found in fish tissues is expected to be only somewhat higher than the average concentration of chlorobenzene in the water from which the fish was taken as it has not been found to bioconcentrate significantly.

	Gruner Recommended Decision - October 29, 1998
		The evidence of chlorobenzene in a ground water monitoring well down gradient from the Applicant's surface impoundments raises concern that the impoundments no longer are demonstrated to have "no significant adverse impact on public health, safety or welfare, the environment or natural resources" as required by 6 NYCRR §364.4(b)(2).
		Even now, with chlorobenzene in the ground water, the existence of a "threat" to public health or the environment is questionable since the nearest drinking water well is a distance away and the chlorobenzene has apparently not migrated very far.
		I recommend that the renewal be denied as to those impoundments containing chlorobenzene and be granted as to impoundments where chlorobenzene is not present or is present in negligible amounts.

	an introduction to aryl halides (halogenoarenes)

		In order for chlorobenzene to dissolve it would have to break lots of existing hydrogen bonds between water molecules.
		The only new forces between the chlorobenzene and the water would be van der Waals dispersion forces.

		Effect of chlorobenzene treatment of the low-severity liquification of coals
		Chlorobenzene has the advantage of extracting virtually no organic matter from coals and it has been reported previously that, for the Pittsburgh No. 8 Argonne Premium coal Sample (APSC), chlorobenzene treatment significantly improved the oil yield (as measured by dichloromethane-solubles) form short contact time hydrogen-donor solvent liquefaction with tetralin (400[degrees]C, 15 min.).
