Paradichlorobenzene is a white, crystalline solid known for its strong, penetrating odor. It is primarily used as a deodorizer and pesticide, especially in mothballs and toilet fresheners. It slowly sublimates (turns from solid to gas), releasing fumes that help repel insects and mask odors. It is intended for external or environmental use and should be handled with care due to potential health risks from prolonged exposure.
