General Description

(-)-Oxy-chlordane is a chemical compound that belongs to the chlordane family of pesticides. It is a derivative of chlordane and is formed through the oxidation of chlordane. (-)-Oxy-chlordane has been used as an insecticide and pesticide in the past, but its use has been restricted due to its toxic effects on the environment and human health. It is considered a persistent organic pollutant and has been found to accumulate in the environment and in living organisms. Exposure to (-)-oxy-chlordane has been linked to various health effects, including cancer, reproductive and developmental toxicity, and damage to the liver and immune system. Due to these concerns, the production and use of (-)-oxy-chlordane have been banned or heavily regulated in many countries.
