Description

3,4,5,3',4'-Pentachlorobiphenyl (PCB 126) is a highly toxic and persistent organochlorine compound that was widely used in industrial applications, such as in electrical equipment, hydraulic fluids, and pesticides. Its synthesis involves multiple chlorination steps of biphenyl, typically using chlorine gas in the presence of a catalyst. PCB 126 has been shown to have significant adverse effects on human health and the environment, including endocrine disruption, immunotoxicity, developmental toxicity, and carcinogenicity. It is a potent aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) agonist, leading to the activation of genes involved in detoxification and cellular defense. The persistence of PCB 126 in the environment, its bioaccumulation in food chains, and its potential for long-term adverse effects have led to its regulation and restriction in many countries. Extensive research is ongoing to understand the mechanisms of action, toxicity, and environmental fate of PCB 126. This research is crucial for developing strategies to mitigate its effects and protect human health and the environment.'
