2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzofuran

Description:

2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzofuran (TCDF) is a chlorinated aromatic compound belonging to the dibenzofuran family, characterized by the presence of four chlorine atoms at the 2, 3, 7, and 8 positions on the dibenzofuran structure. It is a colorless to pale yellow solid that is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. TCDF is known for its persistence in the environment and bioaccumulation in living organisms, leading to potential toxic effects. It is classified as a polychlorinated dibenzofuran (PCDF) and is recognized for its dioxin-like properties, which can disrupt endocrine functions and cause various health issues, including developmental and reproductive toxicity. The compound is primarily formed as a byproduct of industrial processes, such as waste incineration and the production of certain chemicals. Due to its environmental and health implications, TCDF is subject to regulatory scrutiny and monitoring. Its detection in environmental samples often raises concerns regarding pollution and human exposure.

2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzofuran (2,3,7,8-TCDF) is a congener of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxin. It is found in the environment as a byproduct from the manufacture of chlorophenols and pentachlorophenol. 2,3,7,8-TCDF is an endocrine disruptor that affects cell nuclei and causes oxidative stress to the liver. There are few studies on 2,3,7,8-TCDF because it is not commercially available for use in research or industry. The only study done on this chemical found that it was potent inducer of glucuronide conjugation enzymes and decreased the activity of rat liver microsomes.
