I plan to make a business of buying and re-selling the\nisomer which is the isomer that is considered highly toxic. The table in CFR 49, part 172 lists TCP\nthan 3% of the ortho isomer is not considered hazardous and thus may be shipped without regard\nwith greater than 3% of the ortho isomer as being hazardous.
