2,3,4,4',6-pentachlorobiphenyl

Description:

2,3,4,4',6-Pentachlorobiphenyl, with CAS number 74472-38-1, 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 connected phenyl rings, with five chlorine atoms substituted at specific positions on the biphenyl structure. Its physical properties include a high melting point and low solubility in water, making it more soluble in organic solvents. The presence of multiple chlorine atoms contributes to its stability and resistance to degradation, which raises concerns regarding bioaccumulation in the environment and potential health effects in humans and wildlife. PCBs, including 2,3,4,4',6-pentachlorobiphenyl, have been associated with various adverse health effects, including endocrine disruption and carcinogenicity. Due to these characteristics, the production and use of PCBs have been heavily regulated or banned in many countries. Environmental monitoring and remediation efforts are crucial for managing the risks associated with this and other PCB congeners.
