As part of a health-hazard survey on the health risk of hospital clean
ing workers from exposure to Lyorthol, a hazard assessment of o-benzo-

. In this paper, the physical and chemical characteristics, kinetics a
nd effects of o-benzochlorophenol are described and discussed, and an
overall, summarizing hazard evaluation is presented. (C) 1998 John Wil
