the discovery of a potentially toxic metabolite in technical grade PCNB to be used in fungicide formulations, the sale of PCNB was halted by the U.S. EPA until the issue could be resolved. In
November 2011, the EPA approved certain registrations for PCNB, allowing it back on the market for golf course turf, potato, cotton, ornamental bulb and cole crop uses in the United States. PCNB is used widely as a fungicide in other countries, such as China and Japan, however, "it is no longer approved for use within the European Union".

In April 1993, PCNB was declared a hazardous air pollutant in the U.S. PCNB was reexamined for re-registration eligibility by the U.S. EPA in 2006 as part of the 1996 Food
Protection Quality Act (FPQA) and as a result, use on a number of crops were ended or limited. In August 2010, in response to

PCNB is used as a fungicide to suppress the growth of fungi in various crops, such as cotton, rice, and seed grains. It is also used to prevent the formation of slime in industrial waters. Residual amounts of the compound and its metabolites can be found in crops. The degradation products, PCA and
