General Description

(-)-CIS-HEPTACHLOREPOXIDE, also known as heptachlor epoxide, is a toxic chemical compound that is a byproduct of the pesticide heptachlor. It is a white crystalline solid that is insoluble in water and is often found as a contaminant in the environment due to its persistence and resistance to degradation. Heptachlor epoxide has been classified as a potential carcinogen and has been linked to a range of health effects, including liver toxicity and environmental harm. Due to its toxicity and potential for bioaccumulation, the use of heptachlor and its byproducts has been heavily restricted or banned in many countries.
