Product Information

• Name: 2,7-Dichloronaphthalene
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2,7-Dichloronaphthalene is a chlorinated organic chemical that has been used as an insecticide and acaricide. It is metabolized by cytochrome P-450 to form 2,7-dichloronaphthalene oxide, which is then converted to 2,7-dichloronaphthoic acid. This chemical can accumulate in adipose tissue and the liver of animals exposed to it. It also bioconcentrates in aquatic organisms and biomagnifies in food chains. 2,7-Dichloronaphthalene is not acutely toxic because it does not readily penetrate the skin or respiratory tract. Chronic exposure by ingestion or inhalation can cause adverse effects on the central nervous system, cardiac system, and blood cells. The most toxic effect of 2,7-dichloronaphthalene is its carcinogenic potential for humans and animals.
