PCB 136

Description:
PCB 136, or polychlorinated biphenyl 136, is a member of the polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) family, which consists of synthetic organic chemicals with varying degrees of chlorination. Specifically, PCB 136 is characterized by having six chlorine atoms attached to its biphenyl structure. This compound is typically a viscous, colorless to yellowish liquid or solid, depending on its temperature and purity. PCBs, including PCB 136, are known for their chemical stability, hydrophobicity, and resistance to degradation, which contribute to their persistence in the environment. They are non-flammable and have low volatility, making them useful in various industrial applications, such as electrical insulation and heat transfer fluids. However, due to their toxicological effects, including potential carcinogenicity and endocrine disruption, PCBs have been largely banned or restricted in many countries. PCB 136, like other PCBs, can accumulate in the food chain and pose risks to human health and the environment, leading to ongoing concerns regarding their management and remediation.
