2,3,3',4',6-pentachlorobiphenyl

2,3,3',4',6-pentachlorobiphenyl (PCB 126) is a highly persistent and toxic polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) congener. It is a potent endocrine disruptor and has been linked to various health problems, including cancer, reproductive disorders, and immune suppression. The compound is synthesized through chlorination of biphenyl and is often found in industrial waste and contaminated soil and water. Its persistence and toxicity have led to its inclusion in the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants, which aims to eliminate or restrict its production and use. Extensive research on PCB 126 focuses on its environmental fate, toxicity, and potential health risks. This research is essential for understanding its environmental impact and developing strategies for its remediation and prevention.'
