Nitrobenzene is a carcinogen, look it up on any US website. I have no idea why so many Indian companies are starting to sell it as a fertiliser , I can only assume its a by product of some industrial process. It is not environment friendly. I wouldn't go anywhere near it with a bar of soap. I am a scientist myself and do fertiliser research, I know what I'm talking about. Blame poor regulation of imports by many countries as the reason it is getting around.
