Paradichlorobenzene pesticide molecule
Paradichlorobenzene pesticide molecule, computer artwork. Paradichlorobenzene, also known as 1, 4- dichlorobenzene, is used in mothballs, to control mould and mildew, and to deodorise rooms and containers. It is a solid at room temperature, but when exposed to air it sublimes into a vapour that is poisonous to insects. Prolonged exposure can also be harmful to human health, resulting in headaches and dizziness, and ultimately anaemia and kidney and liver failure. Atoms are represented by coloured spheres; carbon is blue, hydrogen is white and chlorine is green

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate structure of the Paradichlorobenzene pesticide molecule, beautifully rendered through computer artwork. Also known as 1,4-dichlorobenzene, this compound finds its purpose in various applications such as mothballs, mold and mildew control, and room deodorization. At room temperature, it exists as a solid; however, upon exposure to air, it undergoes sublimation into a vapor that proves lethal to insects. The visual representation highlights the composition of this dangerous aromatic chemical with colored spheres representing different atoms. Carbon appears in striking blue hues while hydrogen is depicted in pristine white and chlorine stands out vibrantly in green. While effective against pests when used appropriately, prolonged exposure to Paradichlorobenzene can pose risks to human health. Headaches and dizziness may result from extended contact with this volatile substance which can eventually lead to more severe conditions like anemia or even kidney and liver failure. This molecular model serves as a reminder of the potential harm associated with certain compounds used for insecticides or deodorants. Science Photo Library's expertise shines through their ability to capture both the scientific intricacies and aesthetic beauty within this image. It offers viewers a glimpse into the world of chemistry while raising awareness about the importance of responsible usage when dealing with potentially harmful substances like Paradichlorobenzene.
