Usage

General Description

2,3,4,7-tetrachloro-8-methyldibenzo[b,d]furan, also known as TCDD, is a highly toxic and persistent environmental pollutant that belongs to the class of dioxins. It is formed as an unintentional byproduct of various industrial processes, including waste incineration and chemical manufacturing. TCDD is a known carcinogen and has been linked to a range of adverse health effects, including reproductive and developmental disorders, immune system impairment, and endocrine disruption. It bioaccumulates in the food chain, posing a threat to wildlife and human health. Due to its persistence and toxicity, TCDD is subject to strict regulations and controls to minimize its release and exposure.
