CAS 3734-48-3: Chlordene
Description:Chlordene, with the CAS number 3734-48-3, is a chemical compound that belongs to the class of chlorinated hydrocarbons. It is primarily recognized for its use as a pesticide and insecticide, particularly in agricultural applications. Chlordene is characterized by its relatively high stability and persistence in the environment, which raises concerns regarding its potential ecological impact and bioaccumulation in living organisms. The compound typically exhibits low volatility, making it less likely to evaporate into the atmosphere. Its chemical structure includes multiple chlorine atoms, which contribute to its reactivity and effectiveness as a pest control agent. However, due to its toxicity and potential health risks to humans and wildlife, the use of chlordene has been restricted or banned in many regions. Safety measures are essential when handling this substance, as it can pose significant risks if ingested, inhaled, or absorbed through the skin. Overall, while chlordene has utility in pest management, its environmental and health implications necessitate careful consideration and regulation.
