Product Description:

Oxychlordane is a persistent organochlorine compound and a major metabolite of the pesticide chlordane. It is not a commercial product itself but is formed in the environment and biological systems from the parent compound. Structurally, it is a chlorinated hydrocarbon with a bridged bicyclic framework. Its primary significance lies in the field of environmental and analytical chemistry as a marker for chlordane exposure and environmental persistence. Oxychlordane is highly lipophilic, bioaccumulates in fatty tissues, and is a known endocrine disruptor and neurotoxin. It is a key analyte in monitoring programs for legacy organochlorine pesticide residues in soil, water, wildlife, and human tissues (e.g., blood, breast milk). Due to its toxicity and persistence, oxychlordane, along with chlordane, is regulated under the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs). Its presence is now primarily associated with historical contamination rather than active agricultural use.
