Description

Heptachlorobiphenyl is a chlorinated biphenyl that has been used as an insecticide and a chemical intermediate. It is one of the most persistent environmental pollutants, with a reported half-life of up to 3 years. Heptachlorobiphenyl is highly lipophilic and can accumulate in lipid tissue, as well as being transported to the brain by fatty acids. The compound is metabolized through oxidation or reduction reactions and can produce reactive oxygen species that lead to oxidative stress, which may be involved in its carcinogenic effects.
