CAS 74338-24-2

PCB 55

Description:

PCB 55, identified by its CAS number 74338-24-2, is a member of the polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) family, which consists of organic compounds with chlorine atoms attached to biphenyl. PCBs are known for their chemical stability, hydrophobicity, and resistance to degradation, making them persistent environmental pollutants. PCB 55 specifically contains a mixture of chlorinated biphenyls, which can exhibit varying degrees of toxicity and bioaccumulation potential. These compounds were widely used in electrical equipment, heat transfer fluids, and as additives in various industrial applications due to their insulating properties. However, due to their environmental persistence and potential health risks, including carcinogenic effects and endocrine disruption, the production and use of PCBs have been largely banned or restricted in many countries. The characteristics of PCB 55, like other PCBs, include high melting and boiling points, low vapor pressure, and the ability to dissolve in organic solvents while being insoluble in water. Monitoring and remediation of PCB contamination remain significant environmental and public health concerns.
