Octachlorodibenzofuran (OCDF) is a highly chlorinated polychlorinated dibenzofuran (PCDF) that is a persistent organic pollutant (POP). It is formed as a byproduct of industrial processes such as combustion of chlorine-containing materials and the production of pulp and paper. OCDF is highly toxic and carcinogenic, and its presence in the environment is of significant concern. It bioaccumulates in the food chain and can have negative effects on human health, particularly in developing countries. Research on OCDF focuses on understanding its environmental fate and transport, its toxic mechanisms, and its potential for bioremediation.
