Aroclor 1262 is a commercial mixture of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) that was produced by Monsanto. It is characterized by its complex mixture of chlorinated aromatic hydrocarbons, which typically contain 62% chlorine by weight. Aroclor 1262 is known for its high thermal stability, electrical insulating properties, and resistance to chemical degradation, making it suitable for use in electrical equipment, hydraulic fluids, and as a heat transfer medium. However, due to its environmental persistence and potential toxicity, Aroclor 1262 is classified as a hazardous substance. It can bioaccumulate in living organisms and has been associated with various adverse health effects, including endocrine disruption and carcinogenicity. Regulatory measures have led to the phase-out of PCBs, including Aroclor 1262, in many countries. Its detection in environmental samples often indicates contamination, necessitating careful monitoring and remediation efforts. Overall, while Aroclor 1262 has useful industrial applications, its environmental and health implications have raised significant concerns.
