CAS 39635-31-9: PCB 189
Description:PCB 189, or polychlorinated biphenyl 189, is a member of the polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) family, which consists of synthetic organic chemicals with varying degrees of chlorination. Characterized by its complex structure, PCB 189 contains multiple chlorine atoms attached to biphenyl, resulting in a compound that is hydrophobic and lipophilic. This substance is known for its stability, resistance to degradation, and ability to bioaccumulate in the environment and living organisms. PCB 189 is typically found in industrial applications, including electrical equipment, heat transfer fluids, and as additives in various materials. However, due to its toxicological properties, including potential carcinogenic effects and endocrine disruption, PCB 189 is subject to strict regulatory controls in many countries. Its persistence in the environment raises concerns regarding ecological and human health, leading to ongoing research into its effects and remediation strategies. Overall, while PCB 189 has useful industrial applications, its environmental and health implications necessitate careful management and regulation.
