PCB 1248

Description:
PCB 1248, also known as polychlorinated biphenyl 1248, is a member of the polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) family, which consists of synthetic organic chemicals with varying degrees of chlorination. PCB 1248 is characterized by its moderate chlorination, typically containing four chlorine atoms per biphenyl molecule. This compound is a colorless to light yellow viscous liquid, exhibiting low volatility and high thermal stability, which contributes to its persistence in the environment. PCB 1248 is hydrophobic, meaning it has low solubility in water but can dissolve in organic solvents, leading to bioaccumulation in living organisms. It is known for its electrical insulating properties, which made it widely used in electrical equipment, such as transformers and capacitors, before its ban due to environmental and health concerns. PCBs, including PCB 1248, are classified as persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and are associated with various adverse health effects, including endocrine disruption and potential carcinogenicity. As a result, their production and use have been heavily regulated or banned in many countries.
