Layman's explanation: Chlorocresol is found as white or slightly pink dimorphous crystals that have a phenolic odor. Chlorocresol is a man-made substance used as external germicide or bactericide and as a preservative for cosmetics, glues, gums, paints, creams, lotions, inks, textiles and leather goods. It is also used as a disinfectant and antifungal agent in eye drops, and as a chemical intermediate in the manufacture of some pesticides. Chlorocresol is toxic to wildlife, and water-dwelling organisms. This chemical is also an irritant to the skin and eyes. It may be formed in waters which have undergone chlorination treatment. Chlorocresol may be released in the environment from evaporation, waste releases, use and production
