1,2,3,4,6,7,8,9-OCTACHLORODIBENZO-P-DIOXIN Usage And Synthesis

Uses

A toxic polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxin detected in domestic meat and poultry.

Definition

ChEBI: 1,2,3,4,6,7,8,9-Octachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin is a polychlorinated dibenzodioxine.

General Description

Colorless crystals or white crystalline solid.

Air & Water Reactions

Insoluble in water.

Reactivity Profile

Simple aromatic halogenated organic compounds, such as 1,2,3,4,6,7,8,9-OCTACHLORODIBENZO-P-DIOXIN, are very unreactive. Reactivity generally decreases with increased degree of substitution of halogen for hydrogen atoms. Materials in this group may be incompatible with strong oxidizing and reducing agents. Also, they may be incompatible with many amines, nitrides, azo/diazo compounds, alkali metals, and epoxides.

Fire Hazard

Flash point data for 1,2,3,4,6,7,8,9-OCTACHLORODIBENZO-P-DIOXIN are not available; however, 1,2,3,4,6,7,8,9-OCTACHLORODIBENZO-P-DIOXIN is probably combustible.

Safety Profile

Poison by ingestion. An experimental teratogen. An eye irritant. Questionable carcinogen with experimental tumorigenic data. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of Cl-.
