Description

Octachloronaphthalene (OCN) is a highly chlorinated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) that is a persistent organic pollutant. OCN is a by-product of industrial processes such as the production of chlorine, and can be found in various environmental compartments, including soil, sediment, and water. Its presence in the environment is attributed to industrial emissions, spills, and improper waste disposal. OCN exhibits high persistence, meaning it remains in the environment for extended periods, and can accumulate in the food chain. Studies have shown that OCN can have adverse effects on the environment and human health. Exposure to OCN has been linked to various health issues, including liver damage, reproductive problems, and cancer. The widespread presence of OCN in the environment and its potential health risks make it an important subject of research. OCN is studied to understand its environmental fate and transport, its potential health risks, and to develop methods for its remediation and prevention. Research efforts are focused on developing technologies for removing OCN from contaminated sites and reducing its emissions. The development of effective strategies for managing OCN contamination is crucial to protect human health and the environment.'

Perna: A genus of freshwater mussel in the family MYTILIDAE, class BIVALVIA. It is found in tropical and warm temperate coastal waters. Most species have green in their shells. [Medical Subject Headings (MeSH), National Library of Medicine, extracted Dec-2023]
