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

Description:

2,2',3,4,4',5,6,6'-octachlorobiphenyl, commonly referred to as OC-8, is a member of the polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) family, characterized by its complex structure consisting of two biphenyl rings with eight chlorine atoms substituted at various positions. This compound is known for its hydrophobic nature, low volatility, and high thermal stability, making it resistant to degradation in the environment. OC-8 is typically found in industrial applications, particularly in electrical equipment and heat transfer fluids, due to its excellent insulating properties. However, its persistence in the environment raises concerns regarding bioaccumulation and potential toxic effects on wildlife and human health. PCBs, including OC-8, have been associated with various adverse health effects, including endocrine disruption and carcinogenicity. Regulatory measures have led to the reduction and eventual banning of PCBs in many countries, emphasizing the importance of monitoring and managing such substances to mitigate their environmental impact.
