AB  - Pentachlorophenol  (penchloro,  penta,  PCP,  others)  is  a  chlorinated  aromatic  hydrocarbon  that  has  been  used  as  a  pesticide  to  preserve  wood  products  from  insect  and  fungal  damage  (eg,  power  line  poles).  Since  1984,  its  use  in  the  United  States  has  been  restricted  to  industrial  purposes  by  certified  applicators.  It  is  a  ubiquitous  environmental  contaminant  detectable  in  the  general  population.  It  appears  to  be  an  endocrine  and  immune  disrupter.  It  is  a  probable  carcinogen  (EPA).  It  is  formed  as  a  by-product  during  water  disinfection  with  chlorinated  oxidants.  Moreover,  it  was  noted  that  children  living  in  the  areas  of  pentachlorobenzene  and  hexachlorobenzene  emissions  had  elevated  pentachlorophenol  serum  and  urine  concentrations.
