| Description | Tetrachlorocatechol (TCC) is a chlorinated catechol compound that serves as a metabolite of pentachlorophenol. It is prominently generated during the chlorobleaching process in pulp production and is commonly detected in effluents from kraft pulp mills [1] [2]. TCC stands out as one of the most highly toxic chlorinated catechols. |
