• Description: Dechlorane 604 is a chemical that is used as an additive in some plastics. It has been detected in the environment and human populations, but the low detection limits make it difficult to determine if Dechlorane 604 is endocrine disruptor. Animal experiments have shown that Dechlorane 604 can bind to hormone receptors, but there are no studies on its effects on humans. There are database records for Dechlorane 604 and its metabolites, but these do not provide information on their toxicity. The analytical method for detecting Dechlorane 604 has been developed and validated by GC/MS-ECD analysis of ethane extracts from soil samples. This method is based on dispersive microextraction (SPME) with gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). In vitro studies have examined the effects of Dechlorane 604 on the elongatus nematode and dry weight measurements show that this chemical alters metabolism by altering fatty acid composition.
