CAS 60-57-1: dieldrin
Description:Dieldrin is an organochlorine compound that was primarily used as an insecticide and pesticide. It is a colorless to white crystalline solid with a characteristic odor. Dieldrin is known for its high lipophilicity, which allows it to bioaccumulate in the fatty tissues of living organisms, leading to potential ecological and health risks. The compound is stable and resistant to degradation, contributing to its persistence in the environment. Dieldrin acts as a neurotoxin, affecting the nervous systems of insects and other organisms by disrupting the normal functioning of neurotransmitters. Due to its toxicity and environmental persistence, dieldrin has been banned or severely restricted in many countries since the 1970s. It is classified as a probable human carcinogen and poses risks to wildlife, particularly aquatic organisms. Monitoring and remediation efforts are ongoing in areas where dieldrin has been used extensively, highlighting the importance of managing legacy pollutants in the environment.
