Description

1,2,3,4-Tetrachlorodibenzofuran (TCDF) is a highly toxic polychlorinated dibenzofuran (PCDF) compound. It is a persistent organic pollutant that can bioaccumulate in the environment. TCDF is formed as a byproduct of industrial processes such as waste incineration, chemical production, and metal smelting. It has been detected in soil, water, and air, and it can be taken up by plants and animals. TCDF has been shown to cause a variety of adverse health effects, including cancer, reproductive problems, and developmental delays. Research into TCDF focuses on understanding its environmental fate and transport, its toxicity, and its potential health risks to humans and wildlife.'
