And this material was very widely used as an insecticide, until environmental concerns prompted its withdrawal.

And some more common aromatic compounds: benzene, `C_6H_6`, toluene `C_6H_5CH_3`, and naphthalene, `C_10H_8`...this latter is commercially available as `"moth balls"`...which you pop into the pockets of your favourite suit or dress to prevent moth larvae from dining on it

...and no matter how environmentally aware you might pretend to be, you get very peeved if you find holes in your clothing...

`"Chloroform"`, `CHCl_3`, and `"methylene chloride"`, `CH_2Cl_2` are very commonly used as polar solvents in organic chemistry....
