CAS 309-00-2: Aldrin
Description:Aldrin is a synthetic organic compound classified as a cyclodiene insecticide, primarily used in agriculture for pest control. It is characterized by its chemical structure, which includes a bicyclic arrangement of carbon atoms and multiple double bonds, contributing to its stability and persistence in the environment. Aldrin is a colorless to pale yellow solid with a faint, sweet odor. It is hydrophobic, meaning it does not dissolve well in water, but is soluble in organic solvents. The compound is known for its high toxicity to a variety of insects, making it effective in pest management; however, it poses significant risks to human health and the environment. Aldrin can bioaccumulate in the food chain and has been associated with various adverse health effects, including neurotoxicity and potential carcinogenicity. Due to these concerns, its use has been heavily restricted or banned in many countries. Proper handling and disposal are essential to mitigate its environmental impact and protect human health.
