Also known as PCP, pentichloriphenol, penta, 2,3,4,5,6-pentachlorophenol, Term-i-trol, Thompson'S wood fix, Chlorophen, Weedone

Pentachlorophenol (PCP) is an organochlorine compound used as a pesticide and a disinfectant. First produced in the 1930s, it is marketed under many trade names. It can be found as pure PCP, or as the sodium salt of PCP, the latter of which dissolves easily in water. It can be biodegraded by some bacteria, including Sphingobium chlorophenolicum.

Pentaklorfenol (PCP), med den kemiska formeln C6HCl 5O, är en klorerad aromatisk fenol som är starkt giftig för alger, bakterier och svampar. Det började produceras på 1930-talet, och marknadsförs under många olika handelsnamn. Det finns som ren PCP, eller som natriumsalt av PCP, det senare lättlösligt i vatten.
