Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

2,4 -dichhloro-benzenemethanol (CAS 1777 -82 -8) has been detected in a few groundwater samples from England and Wales at concentrations in the range of 50 -60 µg/l. The substance was only found in samples from taken from arable land. According to the authors of the study, a possible route for the substance to enter groundwater in arable areas would be through soil application of sewage sludge.
