General description
Phenol, also known as hydroxybenzene, is an aromatic compound produced both naturally and synthetically. It acts as a disinfectant and is highly toxic. Exposure to phenol through inhalation, cutaneous adsorption, or oral ingestion causes denaturation and precipitation of cellular protein, which in turn leads to poisoning.
