PCB 126

Description:
PCB 126, or 3,3',4,4',5-pentachlorobiphenyl, is a member of the polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) family, which consists of synthetic organic chemicals known for their environmental persistence and potential toxicity. It is characterized by its biphenyl structure, where five chlorine atoms are substituted at specific positions on the biphenyl rings. PCB 126 is classified as a dioxin-like PCB due to its structural similarity to dioxins, which contributes to its high toxicity and potential for bioaccumulation in living organisms. It exhibits endocrine-disrupting properties and has been associated with various adverse health effects, including carcinogenicity. PCB 126 is typically found in industrial applications, but its production has been largely banned or restricted in many countries due to environmental and health concerns. Its persistence in the environment makes it a significant pollutant, often detected in soil, sediments, and biota. Monitoring and remediation efforts are crucial to mitigate its impact on ecosystems and human health.
