1,2,3,4,7,8,9-Heptachlorodibenzofuran

Description:

1,2,3,4,7,8,9-Heptachlorodibenzofuran (CAS 55673-89-7) is a synthetic organic compound belonging to the class of polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs). It is characterized by its complex structure, which consists of two fused benzene rings connected by a furan ring, with seven chlorine atoms substituted at specific positions. This compound is typically a white to off-white solid and is known for its persistence in the environment, as well as its potential for bioaccumulation in living organisms. Heptachlorodibenzofuran is considered to be toxic, with various studies indicating its potential to cause adverse health effects, including endocrine disruption and carcinogenicity. It is not produced intentionally but can be formed as a byproduct in certain industrial processes, particularly those involving chlorinated compounds. Due to its environmental persistence and toxicity, it is subject to regulation under various environmental protection laws. Proper handling and disposal are crucial to mitigate its impact on human health and the ecosystem.
