Description

2,3,4,5-Tetrachlorobiphenyl (PCB 47) is a highly chlorinated polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) congener. It is a persistent organic pollutant (POP) that bioaccumulates in the environment and can pose health risks. PCBs are industrial chemicals that were widely used in various applications, including electrical transformers, capacitors, and hydraulic fluids. PCB 47 is a highly hydrophobic compound, making it difficult to degrade in the environment and leading to its persistence. It has been detected in various environmental matrices, such as soil, water, and wildlife. Studies have shown that PCB 47 can have adverse effects on human health, including neurodevelopmental disorders, immune system dysfunction, and reproductive problems. Due to its persistence, bioaccumulation, and potential for adverse health effects, PCB 47 has been the subject of extensive research to understand its environmental fate, toxicity, and potential risks to human health. The synthesis of PCB 47 involves the chlorination of biphenyl, leading to the formation of various PCB congeners, including PCB 47. The specific conditions and catalysts used in the synthesis process can influence the production of different PCB congeners. The study of PCB 47 and other PCBs is crucial for developing strategies to manage and remediate these persistent contaminants in the environment. Research efforts are focused on understanding their environmental fate, toxicity, and potential risks to human health. These studies can provide valuable insights for developing effective measures to prevent further contamination and protect human health.'

Research Excerpts

Bioavailability

ExcerptReferenceRelevance
" Demonstration of PCB 61 dechlorination at environmentally relevant concentrations suggests that low numbers of organohalide respiring bacteria rather than bioavailability accounts for low rates of dechlorination typically observed in sediments."( Kinetics and threshold level of 2,3,4,5-tetrachlorobiphenyl dechlorination by an organohalide respiring bacterium.
