General Description

1,3,4,6,7,8,8-Heptachloro-1,3a,4,6,7,7a-hexahydro-4,7-methanoisobenzofuran-5(3H)-one is a highly chlorinated chemical compound, also known as heptachlor-epoxide. It is a persistent organic pollutant that was used as a pesticide to control termites, insects, and as a soil insecticide. However, due to its toxicity and environmental persistence, its use has been banned in many countries. Heptachlor-epoxide can accumulate in the environment and food chain, posing a risk to human and animal health. It is categorized as a probable carcinogen and has been linked to adverse effects on the nervous system, liver, and reproductive health. Overall, heptachlor-epoxide is a hazardous chemical that requires careful handling and disposal to prevent environmental and health risks.
