Overview

Chlordecone, also known as Kepone, is an organochlorine compound historically used as an insecticide. It is a persistent environmental pollutant with significant health and environmental impacts.

Uses

Chlordecone was primarily used in agriculture to control pests on crops such as bananas and tobacco. Its use has been discontinued in many countries due to its toxicity and persistence.

Regulatory

Chlordecone is regulated under various international agreements, including the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants, which aims to eliminate or restrict the production and use of persistent organic pollutants.

Monitoring

Regular monitoring of Chlordecone residues in food and the environment is essential to ensure compliance with regulatory limits and to protect public health and the environment.

Health Impact

Human toxicity

Exposure to Chlordecone can cause a range of health issues, including liver damage, neurological effects, and an increased risk of cancer. It is classified as a probable human carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC).

Environmental Impact

Effects on wildlife

Chlordecone is highly toxic to aquatic life and can accumulate in the tissues of fish and other wildlife, leading to long-term ecological damage.

Safety Measure

Handling Chlordecone requires strict safety measures, including the use of protective equipment and proper disposal methods to prevent environmental contamination and human exposure.

Regulation

Strict regulations govern the use, handling, and disposal of Chlordecone to minimize its impact on human health and the environment. Compliance with these regulations is mandatory for laboratories and industries working with this compound.
