This chemical is primarily used in research and development settings as a reference standard in environmental and analytical chemistry. It helps in the identification and quantification of similar chlorinated compounds in various samples, such as soil, water, and biological tissues. Its application is crucial in studying the behavior, persistence, and potential toxicity of chlorinated hydrocarbons in ecosystems. Additionally, it may be utilized in the synthesis of specialized chemicals or materials where specific chlorinated structures are required. Its role is largely confined to laboratory and industrial research rather than direct commercial or consumer applications.
