Description

Pentachlorophenyl dodecanoate is a synthetic compound that is used as an inhibitor in the production of animal fat and as a control agent to prevent the formation of rancid odours. It can also be used for the treatment of skin conditions, such as acne. Pentachlorophenyl dodecanoate has been shown to have health effects on animals and humans, including irritation of the skin, eyes, and respiratory tract. The chemical also has negative effects on aquatic organisms and may affect the quality of drinking water. Pentachlorophenyl dodecanoate reacts with hydroxy groups in animal tissues to form hydroxide compounds and chloride ions. In addition, it can react with metal ions such as calcium carbonate or sodium hydroxide solution to form insoluble salts. This chemical is not considered carcinogenic by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) but it does cause kidney damage in rats when injected into their abdomen or administered orally over a long period of
