General Description

(+)-CIS-CHLORDANE is a highly toxic and persistent organic pollutant that was used as a pesticide in the past. It is a chlorinated hydrocarbon compound that is classified as a pollutant under the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants. It is known to bioaccumulate in the environment and in the food chain, leading to potential health and environmental risks. Exposure to (+)-CIS-CHLORDANE has been linked to various health effects, including cancer, reproductive and developmental disorders, and damage to the immune and nervous systems. Due to its toxicity and persistence, its use has been banned or severely restricted in many countries, but it continues to pose a threat as a legacy pollutant due to its long-term environmental persistence.
