Description Research Excerpts Clinical Trials Roles Classes Pathways Study Profile Bioassays Related Drugs Related Conditions Protein Interactions Research Growth Market Indicators

2,2',5-trichlorobiphenyl (PCB 28) is a highly persistent and bioaccumulative environmental contaminant, classified as a probable human carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). It has been widely used in industrial applications, including electrical equipment, hydraulic fluids, and plasticizers. PCB 28 can enter the environment through spills, leaks, and improper disposal. It can accumulate in the food chain, posing a risk to human health and wildlife. The compound is particularly concerning due to its persistence in the environment and its potential to disrupt endocrine function, leading to reproductive and developmental effects. Research on PCB 28 focuses on understanding its fate and transport in the environment, its impact on human and wildlife health, and the development of effective remediation strategies.'
