General Description

(+)-trans-Chlordane is a persistent organochlorine insecticide and a member of the chlordane family of chemicals. It is a white, odorless solid that is insoluble in water but soluble in many organic solvents. (+)-trans-Chlordane was widely used as a pesticide to control termites, ants, and other household pests, as well as for agricultural purposes. However, due to its toxicity and potential health risks, it has been banned or severely restricted in many countries. Exposure to (+)-trans-Chlordane has been linked to various health effects, including cancer, reproductive problems, and damage to the nervous system. It is also considered to be a persistent organic pollutant that can accumulate in the environment and in the food chain, posing long-term ecological risks.
