High-purity reference materials for accurate residue analysis
Chlordane is an organochlorine compound that was widely used as a pesticide. It appears as white or off-white crystals and was commonly sold in various formulations such as oil solutions, emulsions, sprays, dusts, and powders. Chlordane was used extensively in the United States from 1948 until it was banned in 1988 due to its persistence in the environment and potential health risks.
Chlordane was primarily used for termite control in wooden structures and as a pesticide for corn and citrus crops. It was also used on lawns and domestic gardens. The compound was effective due to its stability and long-lasting effects.
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) banned all uses of chlordane in 1983, except for termite control. In 1988, the remaining uses were also banned. The EPA has set a limit of 2 parts per billion (ppb) for chlordane in drinking water. Chlordane is classified as a persistent organic pollutant and is included in the "dirty dozen" banned by the 2001 Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants.
Chlordane is monitored in environmental samples due to its persistence and potential for bioaccumulation. It is resistant to degradation and can remain in the environment for decades. Monitoring involves testing soil, water, and air samples, especially in areas previously treated with chlordane.
Exposure to chlordane has been linked to various health issues, including cancers, diabetes, and neurological disorders. It is classified as a potential occupational carcinogen. Chlordane can accumulate in the fatty tissues of humans and animals, leading to long-term health effects. The primary route of exposure is through inhalation of contaminated indoor air, ingestion of contaminated food, and dermal contact.
Chlordane is highly persistent in the environment and does not break down easily. It adheres to soil particles and can enter groundwater slowly. Chlordane bioaccumulates in animals and is highly toxic to fish. Its primary metabolites, oxychlordane and heptachlor epoxide, are also persistent and bioaccumulative.
Handling chlordane requires strict safety measures due to its toxicity. Personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, masks, and protective clothing should be used. Proper ventilation and containment are essential to prevent exposure. In case of contamination, decontamination procedures and medical attention are necessary.
