2,3,4,7,8-Pentachlorodibenzofuran

Description:

2,3,4,7,8-Pentachlorodibenzofuran (PCDF) is a chlorinated aromatic compound belonging to the dibenzofuran family, characterized by the presence of five chlorine atoms attached to its dibenzofuran structure. This compound is known for its persistence in the environment, as it is resistant to degradation and can accumulate in the food chain. PCDF is classified as a polychlorinated dibenzofuran (PCDF), which are of significant concern due to their potential toxicity and carcinogenicity. The compound is typically formed as a byproduct in various industrial processes, including the production of chlorinated compounds and waste incineration. Its chemical structure contributes to its lipophilicity, allowing it to bioaccumulate in fatty tissues of living organisms. Environmental monitoring often detects PCDFs in soil, sediments, and biota, raising concerns about their impact on human health and ecosystems. Regulatory agencies have established guidelines to limit exposure to such compounds due to their harmful effects, including endocrine disruption and immune system impairment.
