Usage

Description

(+)-CIS-HEPTACHLOREPOXIDE is a toxic and persistent organic pollutant that belongs to the group of chlordanes. It is known for its high toxicity and potential for bioaccumulation in the environment.
Used in Agriculture:
(+)-CIS-HEPTACHLOREPOXIDE was used as an insecticide for pest control in agriculture.
However, due to its harmful effects on human health and the environment, its use has been largely restricted or banned. Exposure to this chemical has been linked to various adverse health effects, including cancer, reproductive problems, and neurological disorders. It is also considered a persistent organic pollutant, meaning it can remain in the environment for a long time and accumulate in organisms, posing a significant risk to ecosystems and human health.
Efforts are being made to monitor and control the presence of (+)-CIS-HEPTACHLOREPOXIDE in the environment and to find safer alternatives for pest control.
