2,4,8-Trichlorodibenzofuran

Description:
2,4,8-Trichlorodibenzofuran (CAS 54589-71-8) is a chlorinated aromatic compound belonging to the dibenzofuran family. It is characterized by the presence of three chlorine atoms substituted at the 2, 4, and 8 positions of the dibenzofuran structure, which consists of two fused benzene rings connected by a furan ring. This compound is typically a white to light yellow solid and is known for its hydrophobic properties, making it persistent in the environment. It is not readily biodegradable and can accumulate in biological systems, raising concerns regarding its potential toxicity and ecological impact. 2,4,8-Trichlorodibenzofuran is often studied for its role as a contaminant in various environmental matrices, including soil and water, and is associated with industrial processes. Its chemical stability and resistance to degradation contribute to its persistence, and it may pose risks to human health and wildlife through exposure pathways such as ingestion or inhalation.
