2,2',3,4,5,6'-hexachlorobiphenyl

Description:

2,2',3,4,5,6'-Hexachlorobiphenyl, identified by its CAS number 68194-15-0, is a member of the polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) family, which are synthetic organic chemicals known for their environmental persistence and potential toxicity. This compound consists of two biphenyl rings with six chlorine atoms substituted at specific positions, which significantly alters its physical and chemical properties. It is typically a solid at room temperature, exhibiting low volatility and high stability, making it resistant to degradation. 2,2',3,4,5,6'-Hexachlorobiphenyl is hydrophobic, leading to bioaccumulation in living organisms and potential biomagnification in food chains. Its use has been largely restricted or banned in many countries due to concerns over its environmental impact and health risks, including carcinogenicity and endocrine disruption. Analytical methods such as gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) are commonly employed to detect and quantify this compound in environmental samples. Overall, the characteristics of this chemical underscore the importance of monitoring and regulating its presence in the environment.
