o-Dichlorobenzene in drinking water

Also listed as 1,2-Dichlorobenzene · o-DCB

We haven’t published a full explainer for o-Dichlorobenzene yet, so this page only shows what we can stand behind and where to go next.

This page can’t tell you what’s in your tap water.
Only a test of water from your own tap can. Public-system results describe the system, not your home.
