aroclor 1221

Description:
Aroclor 1221 is a type of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB), a synthetic organic chemical compound characterized by its complex structure of biphenyl molecules with chlorine atoms attached. Specifically, Aroclor 1221 contains a mixture of PCB congeners with an average of 21% chlorine by weight. It is a viscous, oily liquid that is typically colorless to light yellow. Aroclor 1221 is known for its chemical stability, low volatility, and resistance to degradation, which contributed to its historical use as an insulating fluid in electrical equipment, as well as in hydraulic systems and heat transfer applications. However, due to its environmental persistence and potential health risks, including carcinogenicity and endocrine disruption, the use of PCBs, including Aroclor 1221, has been heavily regulated or banned in many countries. Its presence in the environment can lead to bioaccumulation in the food chain, raising concerns about ecological and human health impacts. Proper handling and disposal of materials containing Aroclor 1221 are essential to mitigate these risks.
