2,3,3′,4′,5,5′,6-Heptachlorobiphenyl

Description:

2,3,3′,4′,5,5′,6-Heptachlorobiphenyl, with CAS number 69782-91-8, is a member of the polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) family, which are synthetic organic chemicals known for their stability and resistance to degradation. This compound features a biphenyl structure with seven chlorine atoms substituted at specific positions, contributing to its hydrophobic nature and lipophilicity. As a result, it tends to bioaccumulate in the environment and within living organisms, leading to potential ecological and health risks. Heptachlorobiphenyl is characterized by its high melting point and low volatility, making it persistent in the environment. It is generally insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents, which influences its behavior in environmental systems. Due to its toxicological properties, including potential carcinogenic effects and endocrine disruption, the use of PCBs, including heptachlorobiphenyl, has been heavily regulated or banned in many countries. Monitoring and remediation efforts are essential to manage its presence in contaminated sites.
